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 golden age is before us, not behind us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64245]]></link><description><![CDATA[The golden age is before us, not behind us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first point of wisdom is to discern that which is false; the second, to know that which is true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64881]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first point of wisdom is to discern that which is false; the second, to know that which is true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy thoughts to nobler meditations give, And study how to die, not how to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26791]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy thoughts to nobler meditations give, And study how to die, not how to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ay, gentle Thurio, for you know that love Wilt creep in service where it cannot go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ay, gentle Thurio, for you know that love Wilt creep in service where it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science cannot resolve moral conflicts, but it can help to more accurately frame the debates about those conflicts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54788]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science cannot resolve moral conflicts, but it can help to more accurately frame the debates about those conflicts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My ignorance of science is such that if anyone mentioned copper nitrate I should think he was talking about policemen's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46878]]></link><description><![CDATA[My ignorance of science is such that if anyone mentioned copper nitrate I should think he was talking about policemen's overtime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bush said today he is being stalked.

Our argument does not claim that evidences are so clear that faith is not needed. We do intend to imply, however, that the choice of a set of assumptions is a moral choice. Adherence to an epistemology is not something which merely "happens to" a person, but instead it reflects a component of his moral development. In some sense he is, in my judgment, morally responsible for adopting an epistemology even though it can be neither proved nor disproved to the satisfaction of those who oppose it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was probably a 380 (foot) shot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38206]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was probably a 380 (foot) shot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24330]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody has a more sacred obligation to obey the law than those who make the law]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have sons, and they have never said the word hell in front of me or my wife.
