Some followers of the Rev. R. J. Campbell, in their almost too fastidious spirituality, admit divine sinlessness, which they cannnot see even in their dreams. But they essentially deny human sin, which they can see in the street. The strongest saints and the strongest sceptics alike took positive evil as the starting-point of their argument. If it be true (as it certainly is) that a man can feel exquisite happiness in skinning a cat, then the religious philosopher can only draw one of two deductions. He must either deny the existence of God, as all atheists do; or he must deny the present union between God and Man, as all Christians do. The new theologians seem to think it a highly rationalistic solution to deny the cat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're not a risky team and we were just a little too risky tonight.

The Ass, as long as he traveled along the plain, carried his load with ease, but when he began to ascend the steep path of the mountain, felt his load to be more than he could bear. He entreated his companion to relieve him of a small portion, that he might carry home the rest; but the Mule paid no attention to the request. The Ass shortly afterwards fell down dead under his burden. Not knowing what else to do in so wild a region, the Muleteer placed upon the Mule the load carried by the Ass in addition to his own, and at the top of all placed the hide of the Ass, after he had skinned him. The Mule, groaning beneath his heavy burden, said to himself: I am treated according to my deserts. If I had only been willing to assist the Ass a little in his need, I should not now be bearing, together with his burden, himself as well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wrongs of a Husband or Master are not reproached. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49942]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wrongs of a Husband or Master are not reproached.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tranquility is the old man's milk ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tranquility is the old man's milk]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens.
