We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are, to whom my satire seems too bold; Scarce to wise Peter complaisant enough,  And something said of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54712]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are, to whom my satire seems too bold; Scarce to wise Peter complaisant enough,  And something said of Chartres much too rough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28299]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  Human and human-minded as men were, therefore, to whichever side ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  Human and human-minded as men were, therefore, to whichever side they looked in the sensible world, they found themselves taught the truth. Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men who only live to eat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50469]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men who only live to eat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A want becomes a have with time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61105]]></link><description><![CDATA[A want becomes a have with time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not going to bypass them because of a small inconvenience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32925]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not going to bypass them because of a small inconvenience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can imagine it,You can achieve it.If you can dream it,You can become it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22138]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can imagine it,You can achieve it.If you can dream it,You can become it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have the insight of non-self, if you have the insight of impermanence, you should make that insight into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66605]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have the insight of non-self, if you have the insight of impermanence, you should make that insight into a concentration that you keep alive throughout the day.
