Its core was the conviction that in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the Kingdom". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture which was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is any result over 90 percent it is better to investigate those again.

Where it is possible that fear should exist it is well that it should exist, cause continual uneasiness, and be cast out by nothing less than love.... Until love, which is the truth towards God, is able to cast out fear, it is well that fear should hold; it is a bond, however poor, between that which is and that which creates -- a bond that must be broken, but a bond that can be broken only by the tightening of an infinitely closer bond. Verily God must be terrible to those that are far from Him: for they fear He will do -- yea, is doing -- with them what they do not, cannot desire, and can ill endure... While they are such as they are, there is much in Him that cannot but affright them: they ought, they do well, to fear Him... To remove that fear from their hearts, save by letting them know His love with its purifying fire, a love which for ages, it may be, they cannot know, would be to give them up utterly to the power of evil. Persuade men that fear is a vile thing, that it is an insult to God, that He will have none of it -- while they are yet in love with their own will, and slaves to every movement of passionate impulse -- and what will the consequence be? That they will insult God as a discarded idol, a superstition, a falsehood, as a thing under whose evil influence they have too long groaned, a thing to be cast out and spit upon. After that, how much will they learn of Him?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27166]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every advance in civilization has been denounced as unnatural while it was recent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every advance in civilization has been denounced as unnatural while it was recent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have not a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming vices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60544]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have not a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming vices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that can have patience can have what he will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45751]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that can have patience can have what he will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are our dearly beloved brothers, and in a certain way, it could be said that you are our elder ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4951]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are our dearly beloved brothers, and in a certain way, it could be said that you are our elder brothers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44169]]></link><description><![CDATA[People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women have seldom an opportunity of concealing a big belly, or at least the consequences of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love to fly.
