You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The turnover in housing has a strong relationship with remodeling activity.

I doubt if the average Englishman felt himself as much oppressed by Charles I as by the plague; or if any colonial American was as much in dread of taxation without representation as of smallpox. And it may reasonably be contended that Walter Reed and William Crawford Gorgas brought to man freedom in a more happy sense and in a larger measure than any military or political leader.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favors!  There is betwixt that smile we would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54508]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favors!  There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,   That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,    More pangs and fears than wars or women have;     And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,      Never to hope again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16547]]></link><description><![CDATA[The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise. -Alden Nowlan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is possible that for a Jew nothing more was required than the assurance that his sins were 'remitted', 'blotted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6540]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is possible that for a Jew nothing more was required than the assurance that his sins were 'remitted', 'blotted out'; he might thereafter feel himself automatically restored to the relation of favour on God's part and confidence on his own, which was the hereditary prerogative of his people. But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The child of trial, to mortality And all its changeful influences given;  On the green earth decreed to move ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59689]]></link><description><![CDATA[The child of trial, to mortality And all its changeful influences given;  On the green earth decreed to move and die,   And yet by such a fate prepared for heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can bring you to the door, but you have to walk through. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11629]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can bring you to the door, but you have to walk through.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a trick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed, or not possible, to avoid making ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44359]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a trick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed, or not possible, to avoid making those that are required.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12467]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are none of us infallible -- not even the youngest of us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15063]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are none of us infallible -- not even the youngest of us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51349]]></link><description><![CDATA[With taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . .
