Every sin is a sin of the indivisible human being, and the divine reaction against it expresses itself to conscience through the indivisible frame of that world, at once natural and spiritual, in which man lives. We cannot distribute evils into the two classes of physical and moral, and subsequently investigate the relation between them: if we could, it would be of no service here. What we have to understand is that when a man sins he does something in which his whole being participates, and that the reaction of God against his sin is a reaction in which he is conscious (or might be conscious) that the whole system of things is in arms against him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While the decline in inflation can certainly accommodate a rate cut, we believe the bank will defer such a decision ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31332]]></link><description><![CDATA[While the decline in inflation can certainly accommodate a rate cut, we believe the bank will defer such a decision until any potential petroleum price hikes and their likely impact on inflation becomes clearer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You led our sons across the haunted flood, Into the Canaan of their high desire--  No milk and honey ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57139]]></link><description><![CDATA[You led our sons across the haunted flood, Into the Canaan of their high desire--  No milk and honey there, but tears and blood   Flowed where the hosts of evil trod in fire,    And left a worse than desert where they passed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy insect! what can be In happiness compared to thee?  Fed with nourishment divine,   The dewy morning's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy insect! what can be In happiness compared to thee?  Fed with nourishment divine,   The dewy morning's gentle wine!    Nature waits upon thee still,     And thy verdant cup does fill;      'Tis fill'd wherever thou dost tread,       Nature's self's thy Ganymede.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Community cannot for long feed on itself; it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond, their unknown ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Community cannot for long feed on itself; it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond, their unknown and undiscovered brothers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Rome! my country! city of the soul! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54400]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Rome! my country! city of the soul!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely  The pangs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27392]]></link><description><![CDATA[For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, Th' oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely  The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,   The insolence of office, and the spurns    That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,     When he himself might his quietus make      With a bare bodkin?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This woman is amazing.
