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[Songs and Stories from Moby Dick, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Songs and Stories from Moby Dick,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1309]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would not vote for the mayor.
