A. C. McGiffert, A History of Christian Thought  August 21, 2000   At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, not indeed viewed as sin, but apparently as the invariable ways of a peculiarly repulsive insect, which it can't help, poor thing; and there is no manner of use expecting anything from it, except the nastiness natural to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not Arafat's business, ...

But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We work in lower Manhattan.
