It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the reason of the ant laboriously drags into a heap, the wind of accident will collect in one breadth. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/298]]></link><description><![CDATA[What the reason of the ant laboriously drags into a heap, the wind of accident will collect in one breadth. [Was der Ameise Vernunft muhsam, zu Haufen schleppt, jagt in einem Hui der Wind des Zufalls zusammen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behind every successful man lurks a truly amazed ex-mother-in-law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behind every successful man lurks a truly amazed ex-mother-in-law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63695]]></link><description><![CDATA[By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A want becomes a have with time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61105]]></link><description><![CDATA[A want becomes a have with time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Fox knowes much, but more he that catcheth him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49855]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Fox knowes much, but more he that catcheth him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be in love is merely to be in a perpetual state of anesthesia--to mistake an ordinary young man for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25910]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be in love is merely to be in a perpetual state of anesthesia--to mistake an ordinary young man for a Greek god or an ordinary young woman for a goddess.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just needed to get the ball to go in the basket maybe in the first and second quarter a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33968]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just needed to get the ball to go in the basket maybe in the first and second quarter a little more.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The SEC has been closer to the Mountain West, Conference USA, and the Big East than it has been to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37652]]></link><description><![CDATA[The SEC has been closer to the Mountain West, Conference USA, and the Big East than it has been to either the Big 12 or the Pac-10, ...

It is to such a degree an element of our thinking that we hardly notice it. It has been since the first centuries a standard view, a means to give account of the, indeed, often disappointing state and quality of Christian faith and practice in the Church as it appeared. As such it is understandable; but nevertheless it proceeds more from the counsels of worldly wisdom than from the faith-as-response by which the Church should live, and the call to incessant renewal under which the Church stands as "God's own household", "growing into a holy temple in the Lord". However stubborn and refractory the stuff of ordinary reality may be -- and it is -- the Church, though with clear realism seeing this reality, can never permit itself to put the divine indicatives and imperatives, which are her peculiar directives and points of orientation, behind considerations which are properly speaking worldly in character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Serene I told my hands and wait, Nor care for wind or tide nor sea;  I rave no more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14621]]></link><description><![CDATA[Serene I told my hands and wait, Nor care for wind or tide nor sea;  I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,   For lo! my own shall come to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.  Of all the wonders ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.  Of all the wonders that I yet have heard.   It seems to me most strange that men should fear,    Seeing that death, a necessary end,     Will come when it will come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought the biggest thing of the game tonight for our guys, and I give them a lot of credit, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34470]]></link><description><![CDATA[I thought the biggest thing of the game tonight for our guys, and I give them a lot of credit, was after [Virginia] got the two runs off Andrew.
