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[Earth took her shining station as a star, In Heaven's dark hall, high up the crowd of worlds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Earth took her shining station as a star, In Heaven's dark hall, high up the crowd of worlds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would not lessen the shock and concern, but it would be something concrete in addition to the apologies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31256]]></link><description><![CDATA[It would not lessen the shock and concern, but it would be something concrete in addition to the apologies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man that is warned is half armed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50961]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man that is warned is half armed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But till we are built like angels, with hammer and chisel and pen, We will work for ourself and a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62123]]></link><description><![CDATA[But till we are built like angels, with hammer and chisel and pen, We will work for ourself and a woman, for ever and ever, Amen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then, my good girls, be more than women, wise: At least be more than I was; and be sure  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then, my good girls, be more than women, wise: At least be more than I was; and be sure  You credit anything the light gives life to   Before a man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lump the whole thing! say that the Creator made Italy from designs by Michel Angelo! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lump the whole thing! say that the Creator made Italy from designs by Michel Angelo!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hayley had two strikes on her, and I told her she needed to just center up.
