For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The beauty seems right By force of beauty, and the feeble wrong  Because of weakness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3837]]></link><description><![CDATA[The beauty seems right By force of beauty, and the feeble wrong  Because of weakness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most common trouble with advertising is that it tries too hard to impress people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36958]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most common trouble with advertising is that it tries too hard to impress people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aim at the sun and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far higher than if you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Aim at the sun and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far higher than if you had aimed at an object on a level with yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talk of the devil, and his horns appear ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talk of the devil, and his horns appear]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a lot of celebration to this thing, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40896]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a lot of celebration to this thing,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12446]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To what extent is any given man morally responsible for any given act?

This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The honest man must be a perpetual renegade, the life of an honest man a perpetual infidelity.
