Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract. Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285  In the last analysis, the service the Christian does is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285  In the last analysis, the service the Christian does is not his, but Christ's. Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the people were a little more ignorant, astrology would flourish - if a little more enlightened, religion would perish ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3388]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the people were a little more ignorant, astrology would flourish - if a little more enlightened, religion would perish]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Revolution has not yet succeeded.

The whole Bible proclaims the need for, and the achievement of, a salvation that will remake creation, and it is just such a salvation, at once supernatural and historical, that was won on Easter Day. If the Resurrection narratives are [merely] a subtle way of convincing us that God still loves us, or that there is a life beyond death, they must be reckoned among the oddest and most ill-conceived stories ever written.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better late than never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better late than never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Historically that (bass) number is way, way down.
