You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wyclif, Reformer, 1384  All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21534]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they found profoundly absorbing.

The more differentiated and specialized the parts, the more elaborate co-ordination is needed to create a well-balanced whole. The ultimate criterion of the value of a functional whole is the degree of its internal harmony or integratedness, whether the "functional whole" is a biological species or a civilization or an individual. A whole is defined by the pattern of relations between its parts, not by the sum of its parts; and a civilization is not defined by the sum of its science, technology, art and social organization, but by the total pattern which they form, and the degree of harmonious integration in that pattern.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gallant Sir Robert fought hard to the end, But who can with fate and quart bumpers contend?  Though ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48701]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gallant Sir Robert fought hard to the end, But who can with fate and quart bumpers contend?  Though Fate said, a hero should perish ill light;   So up rose bright Phoebus, and down fell the knight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've got a lot of confidence coming in, and now let's see what we can do with it.
