Inner feelings of rage soon spill over into all aspects of society. Social stress multiplies daily with every new report of political upheaval, child abuse, drug abuse, workplace violence, children bringing guns to school, homelessness, ethnic wars or some other crisis.

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/8551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness; and I myself perceived also that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11180]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness; and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune gives too much to many, enough to none. [Lat., Fortuna multis dat nimis, satis nulli.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50640]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune gives too much to many, enough to none. [Lat., Fortuna multis dat nimis, satis nulli.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasures lie thickest where no pleasures seem; There's not a leaf that falls upon the ground  but holds some ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46689]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasures lie thickest where no pleasures seem; There's not a leaf that falls upon the ground  but holds some joy of silence or of sound,   Some sprite begotten of a summer dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fraud and falsehood only dread examination.
