He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1854]]></link><description><![CDATA[The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that's beautiful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66014]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two people in love, alone, isolated from the world, that's beautiful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Physical activity has been shown to be beneficial for health and aging in a number of areas.

Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's a' your jargon o' your schools, Your Latin names for horns and stools;  If honest nature made you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58731]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's a' your jargon o' your schools, Your Latin names for horns and stools;  If honest nature made you fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[When we filmed Animal House, I] found John [Belushi] astonishingly shy and vulnerable.
