Every sin is a sin of the indivisible human being, and the divine reaction against it expresses itself to conscience through the indivisible frame of that world, at once natural and spiritual, in which man lives. We cannot distribute evils into the two classes of physical and moral, and subsequently investigate the relation between them: if we could, it would be of no service here. What we have to understand is that when a man sins he does something in which his whole being participates, and that the reaction of God against his sin is a reaction in which he is conscious (or might be conscious) that the whole system of things is in arms against him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The learned pate Ducks to the golden fool.
