To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its root in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. 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[Singularity in the right hath ruined many happy those who are convinced of the general opinion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Singularity in the right hath ruined many happy those who are convinced of the general opinion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If sensuality were happiness, beasts were happier than men; but human felicity is lodged in the soul, not in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55160]]></link><description><![CDATA[If sensuality were happiness, beasts were happier than men; but human felicity is lodged in the soul, not in the flesh.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Home" is any four walls that enclose the right person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19630]]></link><description><![CDATA["Home" is any four walls that enclose the right person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For there is no day however beautiful that is not followed by night. [Fr., Car il n'est si beau jour ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11139]]></link><description><![CDATA[For there is no day however beautiful that is not followed by night. [Fr., Car il n'est si beau jour qui n'amene sa nuit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you believe that discrimination exists, it will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12465]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you believe that discrimination exists, it will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24243]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the same, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maintain your post: That's all the fame you need; For 'tis impossible you should proceed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maintain your post: That's all the fame you need; For 'tis impossible you should proceed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must get beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23379]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must get beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear of serious injury cannot alone justify suppression of free speech and assembly.
