From all these, sin can be known, as a tree can be known from its fruits. Yet these outward signs are not sin itself, the wages of which are death. Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are. Shall we call it our pride or our laziness, or shall we call it the deceit of our life? Let us call it for once the great defiance which turns us again and again into the enemies of God and of our fellowmen, even of our own selves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So far the distribution is going on well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34828]]></link><description><![CDATA[So far the distribution is going on well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is some soul of goodness in things evil, Would men observingly distil it out. -King Henry V.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[trying to fit the president's details into our principles, and it's a very difficult fit to be made.

A grievance is most poignant when almost redressed. De Tocqueville in his researches into the state of society in France before the revolution was struck by the discovery that "in no one of the periods which have followed the Revolution of 1789 has the national prosperity of France augmented more rapidly than it did in the twenty years preceding that event." He is forced to conclude that "the French found their position the more intolerable the better it became.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/565]]></link><description><![CDATA[The camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature is an investment of genius which has dividends to all subsequent times ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature is an investment of genius which has dividends to all subsequent times]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writers are the main landmarks of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writers are the main landmarks of the past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the privilege of genius that to it life never grows commonplace as to the rest of us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17346]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the privilege of genius that to it life never grows commonplace as to the rest of us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A chaste and lucid style is indicative of the same personal traits in the author. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58092]]></link><description><![CDATA[A chaste and lucid style is indicative of the same personal traits in the author.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although you may strut about, proud of your purse, fortune changes not birth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although you may strut about, proud of your purse, fortune changes not birth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What he has is of no more use to the miser than that which he has not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51644]]></link><description><![CDATA[What he has is of no more use to the miser than that which he has not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots.
