Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   The very activities for which we were created are, while we live ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   The very activities for which we were created are, while we live on earth, variously impeded: by evil in ourselves or in others. 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[They know no country, own no lord, Their home the camp, their law the sword. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45806]]></link><description><![CDATA[They know no country, own no lord, Their home the camp, their law the sword.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There must be more to life than having everything.
