We see that many articulate secularists are well-meaning and law-abiding men; we see them go into righteous indignation over injustice and often devote their lives to good works. So we conclude that "he can't be wrong whose life is in the right" -- that their philosophies are just as good guides to action as Christianity. What we don't see is that they are not acting on their philosophies. They are acting, out of habit or sentiment, on an inherited Christian ethic which they still take for granted though they have rejected the creed from which it sprang. Their children will inherit some what less of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One faire day in winter makes not birds merrie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49686]]></link><description><![CDATA[One faire day in winter makes not birds merrie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who studies books alone will know how things ought to be, and he who studies men will know how ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4553]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who studies books alone will know how things ought to be, and he who studies men will know how they are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You put fine dishes on your table, Olus, but you always put them on covered.

The profession of a clergyman is a holy profession, because it is a ministration in holy things, an attendance at the alter.

But we have infinitely more than this, for instead of dead relics, however "authentic" and well preserved, we have a living life-line, stretching unbroken to Christ Himself. We have all the comfort and security that comes from historic tradition, but instead of being given the sad nostalgia of looking at an object and saying, "Look, how wonderful! This is what He touched then," we are given an evergreen memorial [in communion] which says, "This is what He touches now.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm sure we will also serve dinner as well, so we will close soon after that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40509]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm sure we will also serve dinner as well, so we will close soon after that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every cock fights best on his own dunghill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51141]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every cock fights best on his own dunghill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord, Lord! methought, what pain it was to drown!
