The most experienced psychologist or observer of human nature knows infinitely less of the human heart than the simplest Christian who lives beneath the Cross of Jesus. The greatest psychological insight, ability, and experience cannot grasp this one thing: what sin is. Worldly wisdom knows what distress and weakness and failure are, but it does not know the godlessness of men. And so it also does not know that man is destroyed only by his sin and can be healed only by forgiveness. Only the Christian knows this. In the presence of a psychiatrist I can only be a sick man; in the presence of a Christian brother, I can dare to be a sinner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When war is declared, truth is the first casualty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61188]]></link><description><![CDATA[When war is declared, truth is the first casualty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was a good deal shock'd; not shock'd at tears, For women shed and use them at their liking;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58787]]></link><description><![CDATA[She was a good deal shock'd; not shock'd at tears, For women shed and use them at their liking;  But there is something when man's eye appears   Wet, still more disagreeable and striking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man may live long, and die at last in ignorance of many truths, which his mind was capable of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20421]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man may live long, and die at last in ignorance of many truths, which his mind was capable of knowing, and that with certainty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a myriad of immigration laws that, when looked at through the common sense of justice, don't add up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42182]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a myriad of immigration laws that, when looked at through the common sense of justice, don't add up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more the world is specialized the more it will be run by generalists. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47522]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more the world is specialized the more it will be run by generalists.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitudes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46977]]></link><description><![CDATA[The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rules are mostly made to be broken and are too often for the lazy to hide behind]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53248]]></link><description><![CDATA[I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is precisely those things which belong to "the people" which have historically been despoiled- wild creatures, the air, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47190]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is precisely those things which belong to "the people" which have historically been despoiled- wild creatures, the air, and waterways being notable examples.
