The younger generation is not primarily to be blamed. Those who are struggling today, those who are far away and doing that which is completely contrary to the Christian conscience, are not first to be blamed. It is my generation, and the generation that preceded me, who turned away. Today we are left, not only with a religion and a church without meaning, but... with a culture without meaning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am Sir Oracle, And when I ope my lips, let no dog bark! -The Merchant of Venice.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The guilty catch themselves ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The guilty catch themselves]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reject hatred without hating. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reject hatred without hating.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace hath her victories, no less renowned than War. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace hath her victories, no less renowned than War.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day;  But when we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12660]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day;  But when we are certain of sorrow in store   Why do we always arrange for more?    Brothers and sisters I bid you beware     Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He may effect us directly by His Spirit, with the force of a thunderbolt, or He may choose to woo ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7100]]></link><description><![CDATA[He may effect us directly by His Spirit, with the force of a thunderbolt, or He may choose to woo us gently by stirring up our conscience. But, in addition, God affects us by determining that in the universe certain causes shall bring about certain effects. Cause and effect is, therefore, the operation of God through normal channels rather than through special channels. We have our normal way of acting when we drive a car. We can more or less put it in "automatic pilot" while we carry on a conversation, but when an emergency arises, we take conscious personal control. I have a hunch that God has something for which this automatic pilot will serve as an illustration. That is, His routine way of operating is cause and effect, and He is in control of it, so that when cause and effect affects us, then God is affecting us. That is what the Apostle Paul means in Galatians when he says, "Do not kid yourself -- God is not blind. What you do, you will get paid for." The causes which we have set in operation by our own personal choices will inevitably bring about certain results. But God is involved because God makes cause and effect to work.

The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ...
