Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57000]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[While the U.S. media] was praising freedom on the march after the Iraqi elections, he told the real story: The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30036]]></link><description><![CDATA[[While the U.S. media] was praising freedom on the march after the Iraqi elections, he told the real story: The seeds of Islamic fundamentalism is all over Iraqi walls, ...

But it is perhaps equally important to realize that weakness, too, corrupts. Power corrupts the few, while weakness corrupts the many. Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance, and suspicion are the faults of weakness. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from their sense of inadequacy and impotence. We cannot win the weak by sharing our wealth with them. They feel our generosity as oppression.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66268]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists.

For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idleness is the parent of all psychology ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idleness is the parent of all psychology]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A few years later, my Uncle David took me to the Earle Theatre to hear Duke Ellington. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33063]]></link><description><![CDATA[A few years later, my Uncle David took me to the Earle Theatre to hear Duke Ellington.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know I met you, Kist you, and prest you close within my arms,  With all the tenderness of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61879]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know I met you, Kist you, and prest you close within my arms,  With all the tenderness of wifely love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church, but they were truly religious men because of their faith in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scientists were rated as great heretics by the church, but they were truly religious men because of their faith in the orderliness of the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Direction is more important than speed.
