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 deed is everything, the glory is naught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11661]]></link><description><![CDATA[The deed is everything, the glory is naught.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go then merrily to Heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Go then merrily to Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that would have been a fair criticism that would have had more weight if it came a month ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40610]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that would have been a fair criticism that would have had more weight if it came a month ago.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40610</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[Holding anger is a poison.

This is, of course, why many otherwise honest intellectual people will construct a neat by-pass around the claim of Jesus to be God. Being people of insight and imagination, they know perfectly well that once to accept such a claim as fact would mean a readjustment of their own purposes and values and affections which they may have no wish to make. To call Jesus the greatest Figure in History or the finest Moral Teacher the world has ever seen commits no one to anything. But once to allow the startled mind to accept as fact that this man is really focused-God may commit anyone to anything! There is every excuse for blundering in the dark, but in the light there is no cover from reality. It is because we strongly sense this, and not merely because we feel that the evidence is ancient and scanty, that we shrink from committing ourselves to such a far-reaching belief as that Jesus Christ was really God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may as well be asleep as to read for anything but to improve his mind and morals, and regulate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43141]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may as well be asleep as to read for anything but to improve his mind and morals, and regulate his conduct.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou must be emptied of that wherewith thou art full, that thou mayest be filled with that whereof thou art empty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humanism, it seems, is almost impossible in America where material progress is part of the national romance whereas in Europe ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humanism, it seems, is almost impossible in America where material progress is part of the national romance whereas in Europe such progress is relished because it feels nice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When mistrust comes in, love goes out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42850]]></link><description><![CDATA[When mistrust comes in, love goes out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of the change we think we see in life Is due to truths being in and out of favor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57042]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of the change we think we see in life Is due to truths being in and out of favor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most writers regard truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are most economical in its use. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most writers regard truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are most economical in its use.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to take the initiative and play your game.
