Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14230]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help. -Albert Schweitzer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If liberty has any meaning it means freedom to improve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24721]]></link><description><![CDATA[If liberty has any meaning it means freedom to improve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O God!

Wrath, which is a fourth birth from these three, can have no existence till one or all of these three are contradicted, or have something done to them that is contrary to their will. These four properties generate their own torment. They have no outward cause, nor any inward power of altering themselves. And therefore all self or nature must be in this state until some supernatural good comes into it, or gets a birth in it. Whilst man indeed lives among the vanities of time, his covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath may be in a tolerable state, may hold him to a mixture of peace and trouble; they may have at times their gratifications as well as their torments. But when death has put an end to the vanity of all earthly cheats, the soul that is not born again of the Supernatural Word and Spirit of God, must find itself unavoidably devoured and shut up in its own insatiable, unchangeable, self-tormenting covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that eats the hard shall eate the ripe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that eats the hard shall eate the ripe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer's role is almost superfluous.

It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to show how the university feels and show how the students feel and see how much of that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28366]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to show how the university feels and show how the students feel and see how much of that is really true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're not going to see a (buying and selling) frenzy.
