Every time we sin, it is the whole of us that sins, and not just a part. The body is only the instrument of the mind and the will. All that God made, including the body with all its desires and instincts, is good in itself. But it has to be kept under control and used in the right way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690  To pass from estrangement from God to be a son ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8170]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690  To pass from estrangement from God to be a son of God is the basic fact of conversion. That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe. You are no longer working against the grain of the universe; you're working with it... You have been forgiven by God and now you can forgive yourself. All self hate, self-despising, self-rejection, drop away, and you accept yourself in God, respect yourself, and love yourself... You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gallantry to women--the sure road to their favor--is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gallantry to women--the sure road to their favor--is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and wishes, a delight in their satisfaction, and a confidence in yourself as being able to contribute toward it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deeds, not stones, are the true monuments of the great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deeds, not stones, are the true monuments of the great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The West condemns any denial of the Jewish holocaust, but it permits the insult of Islamic sanctities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29781]]></link><description><![CDATA[The West condemns any denial of the Jewish holocaust, but it permits the insult of Islamic sanctities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Straight is the line of duty; Curved is the line of beauty;  Follow the straight line, thou shalt see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Straight is the line of duty; Curved is the line of beauty;  Follow the straight line, thou shalt see   The curved line ever follow thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is a cynic?

Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item></channel></rss>
