To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its roots in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride -- these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had I been present at the creation of the world I would have proposed some improvements. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had I been present at the creation of the world I would have proposed some improvements.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair Venus shines Even in the eye of day; with sweetest beam  Propitious shines, and shakes a trembling flood ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair Venus shines Even in the eye of day; with sweetest beam  Propitious shines, and shakes a trembling flood   Of softened radiance from her dewy locks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't overlook the importance of worldwide thinking.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While you live, tell truth and shame the devil! -King Henry IV.
