He is nothing of the kind: he is simply a man who is sure of his foundation, and is convinced that the only way to any true advancement is spiritual, and is Christ; and therefore he persists, in spite of all appearances, in clinging to Christ as the only foundation, and in building all his hopes for the future on the acceptance of Christ. He is not content with attacks upon symptoms of evil; they seem to him superficial: he goes to the roots. He cannot be content with teaching men Christian principles of conduct, "Christian ideals of social life" -- still less with the establishment of colleges and clubs. Nothing but Christ Himself, faith in Christ, the obedience of Christ, seems to him equal to the need, and nothing else is his work but the establishment of that foundation. In doing this he is not showing indifference to social evils, he is not standing aloof from beneficent movements; he is actively engaged in laying the axe to the roots of the trees which bear the evil. That is not indifference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For who can be secure of private right, If sovereign sway may be dissolved by might?  Nor is the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52463]]></link><description><![CDATA[For who can be secure of private right, If sovereign sway may be dissolved by might?  Nor is the people's judgment always true:   The most may err as grossly as the few.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assassination has never changed the history of the world ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3381]]></link><description><![CDATA[Assassination has never changed the history of the world]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
