It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success.

No reader of the gospel story can fail to be impressed by Jesus' humble submission to the will of his God on the one hand, and his mastery of all situations on the other; by his penetrating discernment of human motives and his authoritative demand of radical obedience on the one hand, and his gracious, forgiving acceptance of sinners on the other. There is nothing, either in the Messianic hopes of pre-Christian Judaism or in the later Messianic beliefs of the early Christian Church to account for this portrait. It is characterized by an originality and freshness which is beyond the power of invention.

Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're asking someone from the lacrosse team to step forward.

Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At morn the blackcock trims his jetty wing, 'Tis morning prompts the linnet's blithest lay;  All Nature's children feel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51080]]></link><description><![CDATA[At morn the blackcock trims his jetty wing, 'Tis morning prompts the linnet's blithest lay;  All Nature's children feel the matin spring   Of life reviving, with reviving day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love doesn't make the world go 'round.
