To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its roots in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride -- these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speech is silvern, silence is golden. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48800]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speech is silvern, silence is golden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People in their 20s have a lot of time to grow their investments and don't need to be too conservative, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39468]]></link><description><![CDATA[People in their 20s have a lot of time to grow their investments and don't need to be too conservative,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bush, you must confess that you have been defeated in Iraq and in Afghanistan and you will be in Palestine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bush, you must confess that you have been defeated in Iraq and in Afghanistan and you will be in Palestine soon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17184]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commit yourself to quality from day one ... it's better to do nothing at all than to do something badly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commit yourself to quality from day one ... it's better to do nothing at all than to do something badly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A republican stands up in congress and says 'I GOT A REALLY BAD IDEA!!' and the democrat stands up after ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9762]]></link><description><![CDATA[A republican stands up in congress and says 'I GOT A REALLY BAD IDEA!!' and the democrat stands up after him and says 'AND I CAN MAKE IT SHITTIER!!']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Making copies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Making copies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poverty is the mother of health. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poverty is the mother of health.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We laid it on the line.
