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[We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62054]]></link><description><![CDATA[We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dance is the hidden language of the soul of the body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the first time the U.S. bond market has not been leading other bond markets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28438]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the first time the U.S. bond market has not been leading other bond markets.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's easy to cry when you realize that everyone you love will reject you or die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53242]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's easy to cry when you realize that everyone you love will reject you or die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the devout ones took the stance of spectator. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the devout ones took the stance of spectator.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58548]]></link><description><![CDATA[A spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For example, if a car rental company charges $100 a day for a mid-sized rental car to a family in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35982]]></link><description><![CDATA[For example, if a car rental company charges $100 a day for a mid-sized rental car to a family in need, this amounts to exorbitant pricing and that company will answer for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988  [Unbelievers] think they have made great efforts to get at the truth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988  [Unbelievers] think they have made great efforts to get at the truth when they have spent a few hours in reading some book out of Holy Scripture, and have questioned some cleric about the truths of the faith.
