His master suspended a bell about his neck so that the Dog might give notice of his presence wherever he went. Thinking it a mark of distinction, the Dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling it all over the marketplace. One day an old hound said to him: Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a mark of disgrace, a public notice to all men to avoid you as an ill mannered dog. Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look back, and smile on perils past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look back, and smile on perils past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is all metaphor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is all metaphor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored.

That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Christianity should happen to be true -- that is to say, if its God is the real God of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7552]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Christianity should happen to be true -- that is to say, if its God is the real God of the universe -- then defending it may mean talking about anything and everything. Things can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is false, but nothing can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is true. [All] things not only may have something to do with the Christian God, but must have something to do with Him if He lives and reigns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7552</guid></item></channel></rss>
