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[Modesty is the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty is the gentle art of enhancing your charm by pretending not to be aware of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If rates keep going higher, that will pose some problems to sizeable chunks of the stock market, particularly financials and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31067]]></link><description><![CDATA[If rates keep going higher, that will pose some problems to sizeable chunks of the stock market, particularly financials and other areas that are interest-rate sensitive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O shame, where is thy blush? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56135]]></link><description><![CDATA[O shame, where is thy blush?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When iron scourge, and tort'ring hour The bad affright, afflict the best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53816]]></link><description><![CDATA[When iron scourge, and tort'ring hour The bad affright, afflict the best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You not supposed to feel down over whatever happen to you.
