He allowed himself (God allowed him) to be accounted sin by the Law. He refused to do what orthodox Jews of his day thought God had commanded them to do, (i.e.) seek to gain credit with God by keeping the Law. He lived by faith, not Law, and therefore repudiated the Law and the path of self-justification.... He stripped himself even of that claim to moral goodness which would have distinguished him from sinners. Short of becoming a sinner (and Paul shows that this idea is repudiated), how could God come closer to us sinners?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character matters; leadership descends from character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character matters; leadership descends from character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For ivy climbs the crumbling hall To decorate decay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23104]]></link><description><![CDATA[For ivy climbs the crumbling hall To decorate decay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without realizing what was happening, most of us gradually came to take for granted the premises underlying the philosophy of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without realizing what was happening, most of us gradually came to take for granted the premises underlying the philosophy of optimism. We proceeded to live these propositions, though we would not have stated them as blandly as I set them forth here:   Man is inherently good.  Individual man can carve out his own salvation with the help of education and society through progressively better government.  Reality and values worth searching for lie in the material world that science is steadily teaching us to analyze, catalogue, and measure. While we do not deny the existence of inner values, we relegate them to second place.  The purpose of life is happiness, [which] we define in terms of enjoyable activity, friends, and the accumulation of material objects.  The pain and evil of life -- such as ignorance, poverty, selfishness, hatred, greed, lust for power -- are caused by factors in the external world; therefore, the cure lies in the reforming of human institutions and the bettering of environmental conditions.  As science and technology remove poverty and lift from us the burden of physical existence, we shall automatically become finer persons, seeing for ourselves the value of living the Golden Rule.  In time, the rest of the world will appreciate the demonstration that the American way of life is best. They will then seek for themselves the good life of freedom and prosperity. This will be the greatest impetus toward an end of global conflict.  The way to get along with people is to beware of religious dictums and dogma. The ideal is to be a nice person and to live by the Creed of Tolerance. Thus we offend few people. We live and let live. This is the American Way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miser is as much in want of that which he has, as of that which he has not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42731]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miser is as much in want of that which he has, as of that which he has not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's the problem, ...

But that would have been to Him just the one dreadful thing. That His Father should forget him! -- no power in Himself could make up for that. He feared nothing for Himself; and never once employed His divine power to save Himself from His human fate. Let God do that for Him if He saw fit. He did not come into the world to take care of Himself... His life was of no value to Him but as His Father cared for it. God would mind all that was necessary for Him, and He would mind the work His Father had given Him to do. And, my friends, this is just the one secret of a blessed life, the one thing every man comes into this world to learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wealth maketh many friends.
