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/8551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What was once impossible now summons us to dismantle the walls betweenourselves and our sisters and brothers, to dissolve the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22090]]></link><description><![CDATA[What was once impossible now summons us to dismantle the walls betweenourselves and our sisters and brothers, to dissolve the distinctionsbetween flesh and spirit, to transcend the present limits of time andmatter, to find, at last, not wealth or power but the ecstasy (so longforgotten) of commonplace, unconditional being.

But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen.
