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[Black holes are where God divided by zero. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Black holes are where God divided by zero.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness. -Josh Billings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16537]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness. -Josh Billings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't ignore the small things -- the kite flies because of its tail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't ignore the small things -- the kite flies because of its tail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Running is a great way to relieve stress and clear the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Running is a great way to relieve stress and clear the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The roots of true achievement lie in the will to become the best that you can become. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21659]]></link><description><![CDATA[The roots of true achievement lie in the will to become the best that you can become.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On a March clothesline.. transparent icicles in a rowin the bright sunthey drip and glow Marks of exclamation !!!!!!!!!!a sentence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23449]]></link><description><![CDATA[On a March clothesline.. transparent icicles in a rowin the bright sunthey drip and glow Marks of exclamation !!!!!!!!!!a sentence of joyful exclamation !!!!!!!!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the faces of men and women I see God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17725]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the faces of men and women I see God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66710]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have to be honest, it was kind of a 50-50 decision at the time because I was looking forward ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39347]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have to be honest, it was kind of a 50-50 decision at the time because I was looking forward to signing a contract, but wanted to be as sure as I could that we would be back in the Premiership,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was probably one of the most memorable things.

Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At a time when eligibility and services are being reduced in order to save money, an expansion of services for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38940]]></link><description><![CDATA[At a time when eligibility and services are being reduced in order to save money, an expansion of services for people who aren't eligible for the program is not under consideration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  To love another as oneself is only the halfway house to Heaven, though it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  To love another as oneself is only the halfway house to Heaven, though it seems as far as it was prudent to bid man go. The "greater love than this" of which our Lord speaks, though He does not command it, is to give oneself for one's friends. And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us. The easy renunciation of self for the Beloved becomes the very breath of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58422]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a two-fold mission: To stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure just and equal treatment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39498]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a two-fold mission: To stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure just and equal treatment to all citizens alike.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather exercise than read a newspaper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40083]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather exercise than read a newspaper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Epic poetry exhibits life in some great symbolic attitude.
