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 wheel that squeaks the loudest is the one that gets the grease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5085]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wheel that squeaks the loudest is the one that gets the grease.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the present time, there are probably only a few areas in which one might be able to move forward ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35512]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the present time, there are probably only a few areas in which one might be able to move forward by evidence-based benchmarks,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a lifetime than that first decision to unseat one's own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a lifetime than that first decision to unseat one's own tooth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody,  I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody,  I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
