These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that _men_ know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is _look_ at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in Wood Shop; eventually, when enough things in the home are broken, they take a job requiring them to transfer to another home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil: my cup ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil: my cup runneth over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841 I know the road to Jericho   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841 I know the road to Jericho   It's in a part of town That's full of factories and filth.

If we admit that men can do very well without Christ, we accept the Saviour only as a luxury for ourselves. If they can do very well without Christ, then so could we. This is to turn our backs upon the Christ of the gospels and the Christ of Acts and to turn our faces towards law, morality, philosophy, natural religion. We look at the moral teaching of some of the heathen nations and we find it higher than we had expected... Or we look at morality in Christian lands, and we begin to wonder whether our practice is really much higher than theirs, and we say, "They are very well as they are. Leave them alone." When we so speak and think we are treating the question of the salvation of men exactly as we should have treated it had Christ never appeared in the world at all. It is an essentially pre-Christian attitude, and implies that the Son of God has not been delivered for our salvation. It suggests that the one and only way of salvation known to me is to keep the commandments. That was indeed true before the coming of the Son of God, before the Passion, before the Resurrection, before Pentecost; but after Pentecost that is no longer true. After Pentecost, the answer to any man who inquires the way of salvation is no longer "Keep the law," but "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The volume has been extraordinary, ...
