Utopias are the straws to which those cling who have no real hope; utopias are as unattractive as they are incredible, for those who know what real hope is. Utopias are not a consequence of true hope but a poor substitute for it and therefore a hindrance and not a help. The hope that is in Jesus Christ is different from all utopias of universal progress. It is based on the revelation of the crucified one. It is, therefore, not an uncertain speculation about the future but a certainty based upon what God has already revealed. One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without knowing for certain that God's victory over all powers of destruction, including death, is the end towards which the time process moves as its own end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all hearts were open and all desires known -- as they would be if people showed their souls -- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61058]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all hearts were open and all desires known -- as they would be if people showed their souls -- how many gapings, sighings, clenched fists, knotted brows, broad grins, and red eyes should we see in the market-place!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On this shrunken globe, men can no longer live as strangers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4942]]></link><description><![CDATA[On this shrunken globe, men can no longer live as strangers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't throw a good ball, ... ...That's the sort of turnover you can't give up at crucial times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32359]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't throw a good ball, ... ...That's the sort of turnover you can't give up at crucial times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old praise dies, unlesse you feede it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old praise dies, unlesse you feede it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true way to be humble is not to stoop till thou art smaller than thyself, but to stand at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8104]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true way to be humble is not to stoop till thou art smaller than thyself, but to stand at thy real height against some higher nature that will show thee what the real smallness of thy greatness is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not a leaf moved.

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers; or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will. "God", says Pascal, "instituted prayer in order to lend to His creatures the dignity of causality." But it is not only prayer; whenever we act at all, He lends us that dignity. It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone, and the word solitude to express the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone, and the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The King is dead!
