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[I'm tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn't work.

Outside, he is to be informed and vocal; inside, he must appear ignorant and mute as a sheep. Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though he was rough, he was kindly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23755]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though he was rough, he was kindly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wear the old coat and buy the new book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4642]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wear the old coat and buy the new book.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One feels the excitement of hearing an untold story. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19001]]></link><description><![CDATA[One feels the excitement of hearing an untold story.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of man is how well he is able to feel about what he thinks.
