Here St. Paul calls flesh (as does Christ in John 3) everything born of flesh, i.e. the whole human being with body and soul, reason and senses, since everything in him tends toward the flesh. That is why you should know enough to call that person "fleshly" who, without grace, fabricates, teaches and chatters about high spiritual matters. You can learn the same thing from Galatians, chapter 5, where St. Paul calls heresy and hatred works of the flesh. And in Romans, chapter 8, he says that, through the flesh, the law is weakened. He says this, not of unchastity, but of all sins, most of all of unbelief, which is the most spiritual of vices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54127]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58219]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16960]]></link><description><![CDATA[False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't believe civilization can do a lot more than educate a person's senses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55131]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't believe civilization can do a lot more than educate a person's senses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do the Yankees always win? ...
