How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power wears out those who don't have it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power wears out those who don't have it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will have no other master but our caprice -- that is to say, our evil self will have no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6597]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will have no other master but our caprice -- that is to say, our evil self will have no God, and the foundation of our nature is seditious, impious, refractory, opposed to and contemptuous of all that tries to rule it, and therefore contrary to order, ungovernable and negative. It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want everybody out there, and we miss the guys who are out, but there's a mentality in the room ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40027]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want everybody out there, and we miss the guys who are out, but there's a mentality in the room where we're focused on what's in front of us.
