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[I stew all night in my own grease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52559]]></link><description><![CDATA[I stew all night in my own grease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well-married, a man is winged: ill-matched, he is shackled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well-married, a man is winged: ill-matched, he is shackled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find that doing the will of God leaves me with no time for disputing about His plans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8190]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find that doing the will of God leaves me with no time for disputing about His plans.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a fatal error to enter any war without the will to win it. •Douglas MacArthur   All ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61165]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a fatal error to enter any war without the will to win it. •Douglas MacArthur   All great civilisations, in their early stages, are based on success in war. •Kenneth Clark  You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake. •Jeannette Rankin   War - An act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy, to accomplish our will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mutation is random; natural selection is the very opposite of random. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mutation is random; natural selection is the very opposite of random.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's interesting that astronomy can do this.
