The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the way that physicians mend or end us, Secundum artem: but although we sneer  In health--when ill, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26684]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the way that physicians mend or end us, Secundum artem: but although we sneer  In health--when ill, we call them to attend us,   Without the least propensity to jeer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hundred wagon loads of thoughts will not pay a single ounce of debt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11483]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hundred wagon loads of thoughts will not pay a single ounce of debt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jacqueline Kennedy rented and then built homes in the horse country of Virginia where she would take these Thursday to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jacqueline Kennedy rented and then built homes in the horse country of Virginia where she would take these Thursday to Tuesday weekends and just come back to the White House two or three days during the week.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad.

To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its roots in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride -- these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53313]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is one of the beautiful compensations of this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a professional person and a technician is that a technician knows everything about his job except its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57059]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a professional person and a technician is that a technician knows everything about his job except its ultimate purpose and his place in the scheme of things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57059</guid></item></channel></rss>
