How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To seek a laurel wreath from a bride-cake.

Mary's, of course, was the better part -- the Lord said so, and we must not precisely contradict Him. But we will be careful not to despise Martha. No doubt, He approved of her, too. We could not get on without her, and indeed, having paid lip-service to God's opinion, we must admit that we greatly prefer her, for Martha was doing a really feminine job, whereas Mary was just behaving like any other disciple; and that is a hard pill to swallow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These recommendations are another part of the charitable sector?s commitment to come together and ensure that its organizations meet the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33562]]></link><description><![CDATA[These recommendations are another part of the charitable sector?s commitment to come together and ensure that its organizations meet the highest possible ethical standards.
