The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failure is not an option.

Just as if He had said: "Thou hatest me, and art mine enemy, yet I love thee, and am thy friend." ... As though God in human nature were saying: "I am pure, simple goodness, and therefore I cannot will or desire or rejoice in, or do or give anything but goodness. If I am to reward thee for thy evil and wickedness, I must do it with goodness, for I am and have nothing else."   ... Theologia Germanica  June 7, 2002   Some will not believe in miracles because the laws of nature work uniformly. But their uniformity is undisturbed by human operations; the will of man wields, without cancelling, these mighty forces which surround us: and why may not the will of God do the same?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M.

Jesus is more than a religious genius, such as George Fox, and more than a holy man, such as the lovable Lana in Kipling's Kim. He himself knows that he is more. The Gospel story is a tree rooted in the familiar soil of time and sense; but its roots go down into the Abyss and its branches fill the Heavens; given to us in terms of a country in the Eastern Mediterranean no bigger than Wales, during the Roman Principate of Tiberius Caesar in the first century of our era, its range is universal; it is on the scale of eternity. God's presence and his very Self were made manifest in the words and works of this Man. In short, the Man Christ Jesus has the decisive place in man's ageless relationship with God. He is what God means by 'Man'. He is what man means by 'God'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only in solitude do we find ourselves; and in finding ourselves, we find in ourselves all our brothers in solitude. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only in solitude do we find ourselves; and in finding ourselves, we find in ourselves all our brothers in solitude. - Essays and Soliloquies, 1924.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is cruelty to be humane to rebels, and humanity is cruelty. [Fr., Contre les rebelles c'est cruante que d'estre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10786]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is cruelty to be humane to rebels, and humanity is cruelty. [Fr., Contre les rebelles c'est cruante que d'estre humain, et humanite d'estre cruel.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are not the lead sled dog, the world looks pretty much the same every day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24853]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are not the lead sled dog, the world looks pretty much the same every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46135]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweep on, you fat and greasy citizens; 'Tis just the fashion.
