Sin also appears in attitudes and dispositions and feelings. Lust and hate are sins as well as adultery and murder. And, in the traditional Christian view, despair and chronic boredom -- unaccompanied by any vicious act -- are serious sins. They are expressions of man's separation from God, as the ultimate good, meaning, and end of human existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom comes alone through suffering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom comes alone through suffering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production of an individual mind .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my opinion, a master is morally obliged to seize every sort of opportunity and to try to solve the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28835]]></link><description><![CDATA[In my opinion, a master is morally obliged to seize every sort of opportunity and to try to solve the problems of the position without fear of some simplifications.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly, even if they roll a few stones upon it. -ALBERT SCHWEITZER.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A prudent question is one half of wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52749]]></link><description><![CDATA[A prudent question is one half of wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every failure teaches a man something, to wit, that he will probably fail again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57016]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every failure teaches a man something, to wit, that he will probably fail again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the last 14 months we have been pumping gas to the national grid but the government is not paying ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30570]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the last 14 months we have been pumping gas to the national grid but the government is not paying our dues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reform is born of need, not pity.

Do they not set forth the covenant of grace? The doctrine of justification by faith -- does not Paul in his Epistle to the Romans prove it from Genesis and from the Psalms? Where is the doctrine of substitution and the vicarious sufferings of the messiah set forth more clearly than in Leviticus and in the 53rd of Isaiah? The term "Old Testament" leads people to fancy it is an antiquated book; whereas, in many respects, it is newer than the New Testament, referring more fully to the age of glory and blessedness on the earth which is still before us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lack of sensitivity is perhaps basically an unawareness of ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lack of sensitivity is perhaps basically an unawareness of ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I woke at intervals until . . . the intervals of waking tipped the scales, and I was more often ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61083]]></link><description><![CDATA[I woke at intervals until . . . the intervals of waking tipped the scales, and I was more often awake than not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Monuments of the safety with which errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44943]]></link><description><![CDATA[Monuments of the safety with which errors of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like everybody points you to somebody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31154]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's like everybody points you to somebody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at the moment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24666]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at the moment]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64848]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who falls in love with himself will have no rivals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Litle stickes kindle the fire; great ones put it out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Litle stickes kindle the fire; great ones put it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Born for success, he seemed With grace to win, with heart to hold,  With shining gifts that took all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58141]]></link><description><![CDATA[Born for success, he seemed With grace to win, with heart to hold,  With shining gifts that took all eyes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as appetite comes from eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as appetite comes from eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who can walk to the welfare office can walk to work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65002]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who can walk to the welfare office can walk to work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An I have not forgotten what the inside of a church is made of, I am a pepper-corn. -King Henry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55883]]></link><description><![CDATA[An I have not forgotten what the inside of a church is made of, I am a pepper-corn. -King Henry IV.

Abraham and Moses not only lived in two uniquely different worlds, but no Old Testament editor tried in any way to soften the glaring contrasts between the two spiritual giants. Abraham had no Tabernacle, with its minute ritual and special clergy. Abraham was given nothing like the detailed code of life demanded by the Sinai Covenant. Abraham was not even furnished with the basic Ten Commandments. And yet, when we turn to the New Testament, it is Abraham who holds the place of honor, and not Moses! Abraham is mentioned over seventy times in the New Testament, and half of these are in the Gospels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had it easier than they did.

And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14046]]></link><description><![CDATA[How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14046</guid></item></channel></rss>
