Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause.

For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people will believe anything if you whisper it to them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people will believe anything if you whisper it to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All frauds, like the wall daubed with untempered mortar ... always tend to the decay of what they are devised ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16643]]></link><description><![CDATA[All frauds, like the wall daubed with untempered mortar ... always tend to the decay of what they are devised to support.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Montana.
