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[It is an article of faith in my creed to pick the man who does not take himself seriously, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22217]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an article of faith in my creed to pick the man who does not take himself seriously, but does take his work seriously.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendships begin with liking or gratitude — roots that can be pulled up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendships begin with liking or gratitude — roots that can be pulled up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something in human nature causes us to start slacking off at our moment of greatest accomplishment.

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item></channel></rss>
