Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have not yet reached a consensus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39008]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have not yet reached a consensus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The serving and passing was good, and our offense ran because of that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32441]]></link><description><![CDATA[The serving and passing was good, and our offense ran because of that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming from the cotton plantation, the southern regions, I was brought up with real nice kids, mannered kids, who would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coming from the cotton plantation, the southern regions, I was brought up with real nice kids, mannered kids, who would go to church on Sunday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2174]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world will not be saved merely because people go to church, ours or any other's.

If we seem to say [that the world will be so saved] to the tormented nations, this is only a measure of our failure to see that the Anglican Communion is not an end in itself.

What would it be to taste at the fountain-head that stream of which even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? Yet that, I believe, is what lies before us. As St. Augustine said, the rapture of the saved soul will "flow over" into the glorified body. In the light of our present specialized and depraved appetites, we cannot imagine this [torrent of pleasure], and I warn everyone most seriously not to try. But it must be mentioned, to drive out thoughts even more misleading--thoughts that what is saved is a mere ghost, or that the risen body lives in numb insensibility. The body is made for the Lord, and these dismal fancies are wide of the mark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If by saying that all men are born equal, you mean that they are equally born, it is true, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12213]]></link><description><![CDATA[If by saying that all men are born equal, you mean that they are equally born, it is true, but true in no other sense; birth, talent, labor, virtue, and providence, are forever making differences.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9003]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enjoy life.
