The Colloquies of Erasmus  February 13, 1999  Faith is the source of energy in the struggle of life, but life still remains a battle which is continually renewed upon ever-new fronts. For every threatening abyss that is closed, another yawning gulf appears. The truth is -- and this is the conclusion of the whole matter -- the Kingdom of God is within us. But we must let our light shine before men in confident and untiring labor that they may see our good works and praise our Father in Heaven. The final ends of all humanity are hidden within His hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe anything is possible.Research into quantum physicsproves that a system changessimply by someone observing it.Therefore, all you have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31802]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe anything is possible.Research into quantum physicsproves that a system changessimply by someone observing it.Therefore, all you have to do is beawake and aware of your environment,and that enables you totransform everything around you.It sounds like hocus pocus, butscientists are coming to realize thatjust thinking about something canmake it happen.

To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you shouldbe-because sooner or later, if you're posing, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you shouldbe-because sooner or later, if you're posing, you will forget the pose andthen where are you?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miser is as much in want of what he has, as of what he has not. [Lat., Tam deest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42746]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miser is as much in want of what he has, as of what he has not. [Lat., Tam deest avaro quod habet, quam quod non habet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[In the ante room, under a tapestry of a gorgeous Imam Hussein Muzzaffar Salak (] people call me Ali ... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41321]]></link><description><![CDATA[[In the ante room, under a tapestry of a gorgeous Imam Hussein Muzzaffar Salak (] people call me Ali ...
