You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever we treasure for ourselves separates us from others; our possessions are our limitations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever we treasure for ourselves separates us from others; our possessions are our limitations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great businesses turne on a little pinne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great businesses turne on a little pinne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sacrifices are concerned with the feelings of devotion and longing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sacrifices are concerned with the feelings of devotion and longing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like the sweet apple which reddens upon the topmost bough, A-top on the topmost twig--which the pluckers forgot, somehow--  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like the sweet apple which reddens upon the topmost bough, A-top on the topmost twig--which the pluckers forgot, somehow--  Forgot it not, nay, but got it not, for none could get it till now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12473]]></link><description><![CDATA[First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to believe a lie that one has heard a thousand times than to believe a fact that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14893]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to believe a lie that one has heard a thousand times than to believe a fact that no one has heard before]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they are at Rome, they do there as they see done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54398]]></link><description><![CDATA[When they are at Rome, they do there as they see done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All I know is what I read in the papers ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44479]]></link><description><![CDATA[All I know is what I read in the papers]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Join in the new game that's sweeping the country.
