Modern thought is impersonal. There are, even today, a great many people who understand that man needs salvation, but there are very few who are convinced that he needs forgiveness and redemption... Sin is understood as imperfection, sensuality, worldliness -- but not as guilt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24384]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dose of poison can do its work but once.
