In that very chapter [Romans 7] where he asserts most strongly our inability to keep the moral law he also asserts most confidently that we perceive the Law's goodness and rejoice in it according to the inward man. Our righteousness may be filthy and ragged; but Christianity gives us no ground for holding that our perceptions of right are in the same condition. They may, no doubt, be impaired; but there is a difference between imperfect sight and blindness. A theology which goes about to represent our practical reason as radically unsound is heading for disaster. If we once admit that what God means by "goodness" is sheerly different from what we judge to be good, there is no difference left between pure religion and devil worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break,  Never dreamed, though right ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10275]]></link><description><![CDATA[One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break,  Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph,   Held we fall to rise, are baffled to flight better,    Sleep to wake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am persuaded there is among the mass of our people a fund of wisdom, integrity, and humanity which will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38419]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am persuaded there is among the mass of our people a fund of wisdom, integrity, and humanity which will preserve their happiness in a tolerable measure]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks. - The Importance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our lives are not in the lap of the gods, but in the lap of our cooks. - The Importance of Living, 1937.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind.
