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[Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot teach old dogs new tricks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58736]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot teach old dogs new tricks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination is more important than knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination is more important than knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the religion of amulets and holy places and priestcraft: Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5293]]></link><description><![CDATA[When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the religion of amulets and holy places and priestcraft: Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We like playing on the road when everyone is against you.
