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/8490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I have not read a book before, it is, for all intents and purposes, new to me whether it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4603]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I have not read a book before, it is, for all intents and purposes, new to me whether it was printed yesterday or three hundred years ago.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By the time we see that climate change is really bad, your ability to fix it is extremely limited...
