Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The passions are the only orators that always persuade: they are, as it were, a natural art, the rules of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45238]]></link><description><![CDATA[The passions are the only orators that always persuade: they are, as it were, a natural art, the rules of which are infallible; and the simplest man with passion is more persuasive than the most eloquent without it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect.

Having themselves been emancipated from the superstitions and slavery of a false doctrine and a harsh ecclesiastical government, it would be thought most natural that the Reformers and those who followed them should promptly turn their attention to spreading these glad tidings among non-Christian peoples; but here a strange anomaly is found in the fact that there had been hardly any period, in the entire history of the Christian Church, so destitute of any concerted effort to spread the gospel in heathen lands [as] just this period of the Reformation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has expanded beyond my wildest dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31206]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has expanded beyond my wildest dreams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modesty is that feeling by which honorable shame acquires a valuable and lasting authority. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42903]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modesty is that feeling by which honorable shame acquires a valuable and lasting authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know if there's a more improved player in our section this year that Cory.
