He's like this ball of energy. His name was Lawrence Mathis, a manager. He said. 'I like what you're doing, and I'd like to talk to you. What are your plans? What are you doing?' I said, 'You caught me at a bad time, because I'm probably moving home in a couple of months.' But I met with him that next Monday and told him what was going on. He said, 'Give me a year to work with you.' I said, 'l don't have a year. I've got six months, at best.' He said, 'All right. Six months.'

Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2302]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want the spirit of America to be efficient; we want American character to be efficient; we want American character ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13623]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want the spirit of America to be efficient; we want American character to be efficient; we want American character to display itself in what I may, perhaps, be allowed to call spiritual efficiency--clear disinterested thinking and fearless action along the right lines of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No answer is a clear answer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18444]]></link><description><![CDATA[No answer is a clear answer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a problem with several media taking only a part of the reality and not the whole picture.
