The most experienced psychologist or observer of human nature knows infinitely less of the human heart than the simplest Christian who lives beneath the Cross of Jesus. The greatest psychological insight, ability, and experience cannot grasp this one thing: what sin is. Worldly wisdom knows what distress and weakness and failure are, but it does not know the godlessness of men. And so it also does not know that man is destroyed only by his sin and can be healed only by forgiveness. Only the Christian knows this. In the presence of a psychiatrist I can only be a sick man; in the presence of a Christian brother, I can dare to be a sinner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26823]]></link><description><![CDATA[To dare to live alone is the rarest courage; since there are many who had rather meet their bitterest enemy in the field, than their own hearts in their closet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349  I have often, on my knees, been shocked to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349  I have often, on my knees, been shocked to find what sort of thoughts I have, for a moment, been addressing to God; what infantile placations I was really offering, what claims I have really made, even what absurd adjustments or compromises I was, half-consciously, proposing. There is a Pagan, savage heart in me somewhere. For unfortunately the folly and idiot-cunning of Paganism seem to have far more power of surviving than its innocent or even beautiful elements. It is easy, once you have power, to silence the pipes, still the dances, disfigure the statues, and forget the stories; but not easy to kill the savage, the greedy, frightened creature now cringing, now blustering in one's soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend to all is a friend to none. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64698]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend to all is a friend to none.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't fix everything, but it would create a more just system. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42177]]></link><description><![CDATA[It doesn't fix everything, but it would create a more just system.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a suggestive idea to track those worn feet backward through all the paths they have trodden ever since ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15560]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a suggestive idea to track those worn feet backward through all the paths they have trodden ever since they were the tender and rosy little feet of a baby, and (cold as they now are) were kept warm in his mother's hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it wasn't for dogs, some people would never go for a walk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12642]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it wasn't for dogs, some people would never go for a walk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Larry Adams, 33, has been confined to a room in University Medical Center since April, when he received an artificial ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40395]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Larry Adams, 33, has been confined to a room in University Medical Center since April, when he received an artificial heart.
