Man knows his sin, which without temptation he could never have known; for in temptation man knows on what he has set his heart. The coming to light of sin is the work of the accuser, who thereby thinks to have won the victory. But it is sin which is become manifest which can be known, and therefore forgiven. Thus the manifestation of sin belongs to the salvation plan of God with man, and Satan must serve this plan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's crazy and it just got crazier, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37654]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's crazy and it just got crazier,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The scupltor does not work for the anatomist, but for the common observer of life and nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54937]]></link><description><![CDATA[The scupltor does not work for the anatomist, but for the common observer of life and nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman scorn'd is pitiless as fate, For then the dread of shame adds stings to hate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48984]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman scorn'd is pitiless as fate, For then the dread of shame adds stings to hate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a little problematic for us, because we are not a used to playing together.

The Stoics tried the hopeless little game of denying its objective reality, or of declaring it a good in itself (which it never is); and the Pessimists attempted to revel in it, as a food to their melancholy, and as something that can no more be transformed than it can be avoided or explained. But Christ came, and He did not really explain it; He did far more: He met it, willed it, transformed it; and He taught us to do all this -- or, rather, He Himself does it within us, if we do not hinder the all-healing hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57935]]></link><description><![CDATA[And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a three-fold cord is not quickly broken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For everything seemed resting on his nod, As they could read in all eyes.
