Again and again in the Pentateuch, the psalms, the prophets, and the subsequent writings which derive from them, the claim is made that the creator of the entire universe has chosen to live uniquely on a small ridge called Mount Zion, near the eastern edge of the Judean hill-country. The sheer absurdity of this claim, from the standpoint of any other worldview (not least that of Enlightenment philosophy), is staggering. The fact that Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Egypt again, Syria and now Rome had made explicit mockery of the idea did not shake this conviction, but only intensified it. This was what Jewish monotheism looked like on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give loosers leave to talke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49264]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give loosers leave to talke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing we like to communicate to others as much as the seal of secrecy together with what lies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63651]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing we like to communicate to others as much as the seal of secrecy together with what lies under it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18549]]></link><description><![CDATA[The unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judges ought to be more learned than witty, more reverend than plausible, and more advised than confident.

Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24430]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hypocrisy: prejudice with a halo]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One who receives this Word, and by it salvation, receives along with it the duty of passing this Word on... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6463]]></link><description><![CDATA[One who receives this Word, and by it salvation, receives along with it the duty of passing this Word on...

When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the practice of the multitude to bark at eminent men, as little dogs do at strangers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14027]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the practice of the multitude to bark at eminent men, as little dogs do at strangers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the first competitive grant cycle where organizations had the opportunity to apply for grant funding.
