They do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking where they should be listening. But he who can no longer listen to his brother will soon be no longer listening to God, either; he will be doing nothing but prattle in the presence of God, too. This is the beginning of the death of the spiritual life, and in the end there will be nothing left but spiritual chatter and clerical condescension arrayed in pious words ... never really speaking to others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame is not just.

If the universe is so bad, or even half so bad, how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator? Men are fools, perhaps; but hardly so foolish as that. The direct inference from black to white, from evil flower to virtuous root, from senseless work to a workman infinitely wise, staggers belief. The spectacle of the universe as revealed by experience can never have been the ground of religion: it must have always been something in spite of which religion, acquired from a different source, was held.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a mark of insincerity of purpose to spend one's time in looking for the sacred Emperor in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21051]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a mark of insincerity of purpose to spend one's time in looking for the sacred Emperor in the low-class tea shops]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is counted sweetest By those who ne'er succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is counted sweetest By those who ne'er succeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear creature!--you'd swear When her delicate feet in the dance twinkle round,  That her steps are of light, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11043]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dear creature!--you'd swear When her delicate feet in the dance twinkle round,  That her steps are of light, that her home is the air,   And she only par complaisance touches the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The intellect is weak; it has no power except over what is as weak as itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46384]]></link><description><![CDATA[The intellect is weak; it has no power except over what is as weak as itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They do that for all the employees, ...
