Here St. Paul calls flesh (as does Christ in John 3) everything born of flesh, i.e. the whole human being with body and soul, reason and senses, since everything in him tends toward the flesh. That is why you should know enough to call that person "fleshly" who, without grace, fabricates, teaches and chatters about high spiritual matters. You can learn the same thing from Galatians, chapter 5, where St. Paul calls heresy and hatred works of the flesh. And in Romans, chapter 8, he says that, through the flesh, the law is weakened. He says this, not of unchastity, but of all sins, most of all of unbelief, which is the most spiritual of vices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is not growing worse and it is not growing better--it is just turning around as usual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62224]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is not growing worse and it is not growing better--it is just turning around as usual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An infallible method of conciliating a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40228]]></link><description><![CDATA[An infallible method of conciliating a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor waste their sweetness in the desert air. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor waste their sweetness in the desert air.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best education consists in immunizing people against systematic attempts at education. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13502]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best education consists in immunizing people against systematic attempts at education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always been among those who believed that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65361]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always been among those who believed that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon her.
