If that is where it rests, it is an optimism which will suffer ultimate disillusionment. Romanticism will be transmuted into cynicism, as it has always been in the world's history. The faith of a Christian is something quite different from this optimism. It is trust in God, in a good God who created a good world, though the world is not now good; in a good God, powerful and good enough finally to destroy the evil that men do and redeem them of their sins. This kind of faith is not optimism. It does not, in fact, arise until optimism breaks down and men cease to trust in themselves that they are righteous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news Hath but a losing office, and his tongue Sounds ever after as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news Hath but a losing office, and his tongue Sounds ever after as a sullen bell, Remember'd tolling a departing friend. -King Henry IV.

My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity, at least remember the human factor. These guys are still human beings and hopefully still have hearts and if you keep in touch with them rather than vilify them you may be able to encourage them to go in the right direction. What I'm hoping will eventually happen is that they will grasp the amount of power and financial clout that is now at their fingertips and use those as tools to help real people with real things the way punk politics was always designed to do before, but nobody had any money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people use one half their ingenuity to get into debt, and the other half to avoid paying it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people use one half their ingenuity to get into debt, and the other half to avoid paying it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to believe in God before you can say there are things that man was not meant to know. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1260]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to believe in God before you can say there are things that man was not meant to know.
