If he had been asked what especially he conceived his own duty to be, he would have said that it was to force men to realize once more that the world was actually governed by a just God; that the old familiar story, acknowledged everywhere in words on Sundays and disregarded or openly denied on week-days, was, after all, true. His writings, every one of them, ... were to this same purpose and on this same text -- that truth must be spoken and justice must be done; on any other conditions, no real commonwealth, no common welfare, is permitted or possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And every eye Gaz'd as before some brother of the sky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56252]]></link><description><![CDATA[And every eye Gaz'd as before some brother of the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can lead a boy to college, but you cannot make him think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13559]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can lead a boy to college, but you cannot make him think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25782]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough.

It is almost as offensive to modern man, brought up in the atmosphere of relativism, in which tolerance is regarded almost as the highest of the virtues. But we must not suppose that this claim to universal validity is something that can quietly be removed from the Gospel without changing it into something entirely different from what it is... Jesus' life, his method, and his message do not make sense, unless they are interpreted in the light of his own conviction that he was in fact the final and decisive word of God to men... For the human sickness there is one specific remedy, and this is it. There is no other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Generally speaking, the best people nowadays go into journalism, the second best into business, the rubbish into politics and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Generally speaking, the best people nowadays go into journalism, the second best into business, the rubbish into politics and the shits into law]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a man sow, shall he reap. and I know that talk is cheap.

But -- I know not well whence it comes to pass -- the things spoken do not abide nor incorporate in our minds. They please and refresh for a little while, like a shower of rain in a dry season, that soaketh not unto the roots of things; the power of them doth not enter into us. Is it not from hence, that their notions of future things are not educed out of the experience which we have of the beginnings of them in this world? Yea, the soul is disturbed, not edified, in all contemplations of future glory, where things are proposed to it whereof in this life it hath neither foretaste, sense, experience, nor evidence. No man ought to look for anything in heaven, but what one way or other he hath some experience of in this life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7257</guid></item></channel></rss>
