You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inspiring bold John Barleycorn, What dangers thou canst make us scorn!  Wi' tippenny, we fear nae evil;   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inspiring bold John Barleycorn, What dangers thou canst make us scorn!  Wi' tippenny, we fear nae evil;   Wi' usquebae, we'll face the devil!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26330]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
