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[For ivy climbs the crumbling hall To decorate decay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23104]]></link><description><![CDATA[For ivy climbs the crumbling hall To decorate decay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In some countries we have had the right to vote for less than 100 years, so the entry of women ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65071]]></link><description><![CDATA[In some countries we have had the right to vote for less than 100 years, so the entry of women into political leadership has caused a tsunami.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25845]]></link><description><![CDATA[In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're ecstatic that we got things off the ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33458]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're ecstatic that we got things off the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17524]]></link><description><![CDATA[Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to find intellectual capital - the world's best talents and greatest ideas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can't I another's face commend, Or to her virtues be a friend,  But instantly your forehead louers,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can't I another's face commend, Or to her virtues be a friend,  But instantly your forehead louers,   As if her merit lessen'd yours?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love the Lord, of course, but we often wonder what He finds in us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17718]]></link><description><![CDATA[We love the Lord, of course, but we often wonder what He finds in us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Portia:) A quarrel ho! already!
