Lack of trust, self-love, pride, these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis use alone that sanctifies expense And splendor borrow all her rays from sense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55109]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis use alone that sanctifies expense And splendor borrow all her rays from sense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rejoicing not in the many but in the probity of the few, we toil for truth alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rejoicing not in the many but in the probity of the few, we toil for truth alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is engendered in the eyes; By gazing fed; and fancy dies  In the cradle where it lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51411]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is engendered in the eyes; By gazing fed; and fancy dies  In the cradle where it lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16526]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary, patriotism is defined as the last refuge of a scoundrel.
