It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of two evils, choose neither. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14332]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of two evils, choose neither.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His tongue is now a stringless instrument; Words, life, and all, old Lancaster hath spent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56470]]></link><description><![CDATA[His tongue is now a stringless instrument; Words, life, and all, old Lancaster hath spent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A truth spoken before its time is dangerous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11060]]></link><description><![CDATA[A truth spoken before its time is dangerous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41525]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nowadays people's visual imagination is so much more sophisticated, so much more developed, particularly in young people, that now you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46285]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nowadays people's visual imagination is so much more sophisticated, so much more developed, particularly in young people, that now you can make an image which just slightly suggests something, they can make of it what they will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideology has very little to do with "consciousness" -- it is profoundly unconscious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ideology has very little to do with "consciousness" -- it is profoundly unconscious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How chang'd since last her speaking eye Glanc'd gladness round the glitt'ring room,  Where high-born men were proud to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5513]]></link><description><![CDATA[How chang'd since last her speaking eye Glanc'd gladness round the glitt'ring room,  Where high-born men were proud to wait--   Where Beauty watched to imitate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary   As out of Jesus' affliction came a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary   As out of Jesus' affliction came a new sense of God's love and a new basis for love between men, so out of our affliction we may grasp the splendor of God's love and how to love one another.

Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Didn't make no money today, but I'll just go to the next one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Didn't make no money today, but I'll just go to the next one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to look at our own inertia, insecurities, self-hate, fear that, in truth, we have nothing valuable to say. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2240]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to look at our own inertia, insecurities, self-hate, fear that, in truth, we have nothing valuable to say.
