Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have a wrong sow by the ear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58497]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have a wrong sow by the ear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48442]]></link><description><![CDATA[For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children make the most desirable opponents in Scrabble as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children make the most desirable opponents in Scrabble as they are both easy to beat and fun to cheat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Et tu, Brute! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Et tu, Brute!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people are not really free.

It became quickly and readily apparent how cruel heretical teachings are and how prevalent the heresies are in contemporary times. Victims of these teachings have been encouraged to either to escape the world and their basic humanity into some form of flight and death or to use religion to undergird and isolate further their own self-centered self from the need to be loved and to love...
