The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit, now and then, struck smartly, shows a spark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit, now and then, struck smartly, shows a spark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cassius and Brutus were the more distinguished for that very circumstance that their portraits were absent. [Lat., Praefulgebant Cassius atque ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cassius and Brutus were the more distinguished for that very circumstance that their portraits were absent. [Lat., Praefulgebant Cassius atque Brutus eo ipso, quod effigies eorum non videbantur.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each new generation is a fresh invasion of savages. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each new generation is a fresh invasion of savages.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is not the most important thing in the world.
