Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parent of golden dreams, Romance! Auspicious queen of childish joys,  Who lead'st along, in airy dance,   Thy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parent of golden dreams, Romance! Auspicious queen of childish joys,  Who lead'st along, in airy dance,   Thy votive train of girls and boys.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two things a man should never be angry at: what he can help, and what he cannot help.
