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[Care, mad to see a man sae happy, E'en drouned himsel amang the nappy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Care, mad to see a man sae happy, E'en drouned himsel amang the nappy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The executive exists to make sensible exceptions to general rules. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5094]]></link><description><![CDATA[The executive exists to make sensible exceptions to general rules.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In 2001, our overseas sales overtook domestic sales.

And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  It has been too much the custom to regard the earliest Christian books ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  It has been too much the custom to regard the earliest Christian books as written in a specially Christian form of speech, standing apart and distinguishable from the common language of the eastern Roman provinces. Had that been the case, it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people, addressed them in their own language, and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought, that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A single prop that does not look real to an audience can louse you up.
