He must make the different parts of the scheme fit into each other; his dexterity is shown, not in detecting facts, but in cutting them square... I hope you will not forget that the Bible is the history of God's acts to men, not of men's thoughts about God. It begins from Him.

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[But that old man, who is lord of the broad estate and the hall, Dropped off gorged from a scheme ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51692]]></link><description><![CDATA[But that old man, who is lord of the broad estate and the hall, Dropped off gorged from a scheme which left us flaccid and drained.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deep vengeance is the daughter of deep silence. [It., Alta vendetta  D'alto silenzio e figlia.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deep vengeance is the daughter of deep silence. [It., Alta vendetta  D'alto silenzio e figlia.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60272]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you modestly enjoy your fame you are not unworthy to rank with the holy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was just trying to keep the inning going so we could have a chance.
