The sensitive visitor to the mesas of Los Alamos is almost sure to meditate on the experience of that gifted man, Klaus Fuchs. Though his work in the laboratories was outstanding, his decision concerning the use of what he knew was disastrous. What if, in addition to his scientific competence, the younger Fuchs had shared something of the Christian conviction of his father, Emil Fuchs? Much of the subsequent history of our earth might then have been different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be an optimist -- at least until they start moving animals in pairs to Cape Canaveral. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be an optimist -- at least until they start moving animals in pairs to Cape Canaveral.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I did not expect to hear that it could be, in an assembly convened for the propagation of Christian knowledge, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7956]]></link><description><![CDATA[I did not expect to hear that it could be, in an assembly convened for the propagation of Christian knowledge, a question whether any nation uninstructed in religion should receive instruction; or whether that, instruction should be imparted to them by a translation of the holy-books into their own language. If obedience to the will of GOD be necessary to happiness, and knowledge of his will be necessary to obedience, I know not how he that withholds this knowledge, or delays it, can be said to love his neighbour as himself. He, that voluntarily continues ignorance, is guilty of all the crimes which ignorance produces; as to him that should extinguish the tapers of a light-house, might justly be imputed the calamities of shipwrecks. (Continued tomorrow)   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 13, 2002   Christianity is the highest perfection of humanity; and as no man is good but as he wishes the good of others, so no man can be good in the highest degree, who wishes not to others the largest measures of the greatest good. To omit for a year, or for a day, the most efficacious method of advancing Christianity [i.e., the Bible], in compliance with any purposes that terminate this side of the grave, is a crime [the like] of which I know not that the world has yet had an example.   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 14, 2002 Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866   The "good" man, the man whose god is righteousness, has as his life's ambition the keeping of rules and commandments and the keeping of himself uncontaminated by the world. This sounds admirable; but, as the truth of Christ showed, the whole of such living, the whole drive and ambition, the whole edifice, is self-centered. That entire process of effort must be abandoned if a man is to give himself in love to God and his fellows. He must lose his life if he is ever going to find it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew all along this team could be at the top and remain at the top, because we definitely have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29628]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knew all along this team could be at the top and remain at the top, because we definitely have the personnel.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let Zephyr only breathe And with her tresses play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let Zephyr only breathe And with her tresses play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, well, the truth is always one thing, but in a way it's the other thing, the gossip, that counts. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, well, the truth is always one thing, but in a way it's the other thing, the gossip, that counts.
