Every sin is a sin of the indivisible human being, and the divine reaction against it expresses itself to conscience through the indivisible frame of that world, at once natural and spiritual, in which man lives. We cannot distribute evils into the two classes of physical and moral, and subsequently investigate the relation between them: if we could, it would be of no service here. What we have to understand is that when a man sins he does something in which his whole being participates, and that the reaction of God against his sin is a reaction in which he is conscious (or might be conscious) that the whole system of things is in arms against him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd.

But too often, instead of being the radical, standing against the shifting sands of relativism, he subsides into merely maintaing the status quo. If it is true that evil is evil, that God hates it to the point of the cross, and that there is a moral law fixed in what God is in Himself, then Christians should be the first into the field against what is wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Practice) wasn't very pretty at times today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31690]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Practice) wasn't very pretty at times today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In human affairs, the best stimulus for running ahead is to have something we must run from. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56866]]></link><description><![CDATA[In human affairs, the best stimulus for running ahead is to have something we must run from.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The humanitarian issues have provided an opportunity to the two governments to rise above their historical differences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36344]]></link><description><![CDATA[The humanitarian issues have provided an opportunity to the two governments to rise above their historical differences.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be little drudgery in this better ordered world. Natural power harnessed in machines will be the general drudge. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62159]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be little drudgery in this better ordered world. Natural power harnessed in machines will be the general drudge. What drudgery is inevitable will be done as a service and duty for a few years or months out of each life; it will not consume nor degrade the whole life of anyone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is to man a god or a wolf. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48960]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is to man a god or a wolf.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's his name, the number 10, the small one who doesn't play in the Real Madrid first team.
