He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like a friend better for having faults that one can talk about ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15440]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like a friend better for having faults that one can talk about]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An you had any eye behind you, you might see more detraction at your heels than fortunes before you. -Twelfth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55754]]></link><description><![CDATA[An you had any eye behind you, you might see more detraction at your heels than fortunes before you. -Twelfth Night.

Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To preserve an unclouded capacity for the enjoyment of life is an unusual moral and psychological achievement.
