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 roots 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/6665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a general sense I think at least in the British Foreign Office and the British military that the U.S. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32533]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a general sense I think at least in the British Foreign Office and the British military that the U.S. tactics have been too heavy-handed and may be responsible for some of what we're seeing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charm is a glow within a woman that casts a most becoming light on others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charm is a glow within a woman that casts a most becoming light on others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is fear that has said its prayers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is fear that has said its prayers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the shadows of tree-trunks and shadows of leaves Interlace with low voices and footsteps and sunlight To divide us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32119]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the shadows of tree-trunks and shadows of leaves Interlace with low voices and footsteps and sunlight To divide us forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had just no power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36704]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had just no power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no room for second place.

Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whither goest thou? [Lat., Quo vadis?] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whither goest thou? [Lat., Quo vadis?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are overdue for the next pandemic.
