I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them the revelation of God to men was made, or appeared to be made, less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy, to inferiors nobleness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10434]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be humble to superiors is duty, to equals courtesy, to inferiors nobleness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People want riches; they need fulfillment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53368]]></link><description><![CDATA[People want riches; they need fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My real fear is that there will be revenge acts.

This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means of great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head, that softness and idleness were to be avoided, that self-denial was a part of Christianity...
