This psychological urge to belong, to participate, to commune is as primary and real as its opposite. The all-important question is the nature of that higher entity of which the individual feels himself a part.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you've got ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45187]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you've got a problem.

The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mark of modern unbelieving man as a whole is that he has felt astonishingly much at home in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8157]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mark of modern unbelieving man as a whole is that he has felt astonishingly much at home in his earthly surroundings. He has taken a cheerful view of the prospects of the race and of the future of human history, staying his soul upon the promise of further "evolution" of the human individual, the continuous upward progress of civilization, or perhaps the confident expectation of a completely revolutionized order of society -- a communist Utopia beyond the class struggle or something else of that same general kind. Where such hopes remain unchastened by the cold touch of reality, there is little prospect of the Christian Gospel recommending itself to men's minds, and any wordy defense of it is likely to be quite useless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In cold December fragrant chaplets blow, And heavy harvests nod beneath the snow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11569]]></link><description><![CDATA[In cold December fragrant chaplets blow, And heavy harvests nod beneath the snow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, yes, divorce ... from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, yes, divorce ... from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My illusions range from romance to rowdiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32273]]></link><description><![CDATA[My illusions range from romance to rowdiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mouth of a perfectly happy man is filled with beer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3894]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mouth of a perfectly happy man is filled with beer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the labourer is worthy of his hire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48578]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the labourer is worthy of his hire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I often laugh at Satan, and there is nothing that makes him so angry as when I attack him to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12124]]></link><description><![CDATA[I often laugh at Satan, and there is nothing that makes him so angry as when I attack him to his face, and tell him that through God I am more than a match for him]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When war is declared, truth is the first casualty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61188]]></link><description><![CDATA[When war is declared, truth is the first casualty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing that strengthens a nation like reading of a nation's own history, whether that history is recorded in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39185]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing that strengthens a nation like reading of a nation's own history, whether that history is recorded in books or embodied in customs, institutions and monuments]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The perfecting of one's self is the fundamental base of all progress and all moral development. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22731]]></link><description><![CDATA[The perfecting of one's self is the fundamental base of all progress and all moral development.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Angry poor people are 'enraged.'

Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We owe our troops the opportunity to serve in the best-planned, best-equipped, and best-led military force in the world, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59711]]></link><description><![CDATA[We owe our troops the opportunity to serve in the best-planned, best-equipped, and best-led military force in the world, and we owe them the peace of mind that comes from knowing that they and their families will be taken care of if they sacrifice life, limb or the ability to sleep without war's nightmares.
