The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no other but a woman's reason: I think him so, because I think him so. -The Two Gentleman ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55329]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no other but a woman's reason: I think him so, because I think him so. -The Two Gentleman of Verona.

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[Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9216]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once we have learned to read, meaning of words can somehow register without consciousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4579]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once we have learned to read, meaning of words can somehow register without consciousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you look at the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection now, it doesn't tell the story of what was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34433]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you look at the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection now, it doesn't tell the story of what was happening during the '30s and '40s.

It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And all at Worcester but the honour lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19721]]></link><description><![CDATA[And all at Worcester but the honour lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind of the scholar, if he would leave it large and liberal, should come in contact with other minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58057]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind of the scholar, if he would leave it large and liberal, should come in contact with other minds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The growth of the intellect is spontaneous in every expansion. The mind that grows could not predict the times, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22878]]></link><description><![CDATA[The growth of the intellect is spontaneous in every expansion. The mind that grows could not predict the times, the means, the mode of that spontaneity.
