Here St. Paul calls flesh (as does Christ in John 3) everything born of flesh, i.e. the whole human being with body and soul, reason and senses, since everything in him tends toward the flesh. That is why you should know enough to call that person "fleshly" who, without grace, fabricates, teaches and chatters about high spiritual matters. You can learn the same thing from Galatians, chapter 5, where St. Paul calls heresy and hatred works of the flesh. And in Romans, chapter 8, he says that, through the flesh, the law is weakened. He says this, not of unchastity, but of all sins, most of all of unbelief, which is the most spiritual of vices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've rarely seen an issue in which such strong opinion that is so one-sided, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38986]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've rarely seen an issue in which such strong opinion that is so one-sided,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no advancement to him who stands trembling because he cannot see the end from the beginning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48375]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no advancement to him who stands trembling because he cannot see the end from the beginning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sought Him where my logic led.

"This friend is always sure and right;  His lantern is sufficient light -- I need no star," I said. I sought Him in the city square.  Logic and I went up and down  The marketplace of many a town, And He was never there. I tracked Him to the mind's far rim.  The valiant Intellect went forth  To east and west and south and north, And found no trace of Him. We walked the world from sun to sun,  Logic and I, with little Faith,  But never came to Nazareth, Or found the Holy One. I sought in vain. And finally,  Back to the heart's small house I crept,  And fell upon my knees, and wept; And lo! -- He came to me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be able to look back upon one's past life with satisfaction is to live twice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45687]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be able to look back upon one's past life with satisfaction is to live twice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The goal of all inanimate objects is to resist man and ultimately defeat him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11794]]></link><description><![CDATA[The goal of all inanimate objects is to resist man and ultimately defeat him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sainthood emerges when you can listen to someone's tale of woe and not respond with a description of your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sainthood emerges when you can listen to someone's tale of woe and not respond with a description of your own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sara Lee was an exceptional company with compounded earnings-per-share growth exceeding 12% a year for 25 years.
