As a consequence, they are less cautious. For, where the opinion has prevailed that all are lost who have not happened to be baptized with water, our condition is worse than that of God's ancient people -- as if the grace of God were now more restricted than under the Law!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I provide a little comic relief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29508]]></link><description><![CDATA[I provide a little comic relief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go, and do thou likewise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Go, and do thou likewise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We haven't seen the new study yet, and we're not in the habit of prejudging these sorts of things.

From all these, sin can be known, as a tree can be known from its fruits. Yet these outward signs are not sin itself, the wages of which are death. Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are. Shall we call it our pride or our laziness, or shall we call it the deceit of our life? Let us call it for once the great defiance which turns us again and again into the enemies of God and of our fellowmen, even of our own selves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am whatever you say I am; if I wasn\'t, then why would you say I am. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66721]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am whatever you say I am; if I wasn\'t, then why would you say I am.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a man spanks his children for the things his own father should have spanked out of him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a man spanks his children for the things his own father should have spanked out of him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't have any expectations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29591]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't have any expectations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Impersonal realities do indeed exercise over me some kinds of constraint, as does the wind when it constrains me to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Impersonal realities do indeed exercise over me some kinds of constraint, as does the wind when it constrains me to battle against it or the rain when it compels me to take shelter. But the constraint of which I have been speaking is of a wholly different kind; it is a constraint to be pure-minded and loyal-hearted, to be kind and true and tender, and to love my neighbour as myself. And what could possibly be meant by saying that any reality of an impersonal kind could exercise over me such a constraint as that? I have never been able to see that it could mean anything at all. I have never been able to see how any being that is not a person could possess a moral and spiritual claim over me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fair, the chaste, and unexpressive she. -As You Like It.

And when a person does not understand the creation of resources and wealth, the only intellectual alternative is to believe that increasing wealth must be at the cost of someone else.
