The prophets, for all their passionate sincerity, for all their courageous simplifyings of the Gospel, will meet many deaf adders who stop their ears. We must reckon with this certain fact, and refuse to be daunted by it. But also there comes a point where accommodation can go no further. It is the Gospel we have to present, however we do it. We cannot hope to do it unless we walk humbly with the modern man, as well as with God, unless we are much more eager to learn from him and about him, than to instruct him. God help us, it is all very difficult. But was there ever a task better worth trying to do, or one in which, whether we fail or succeed, we more surely find our freedom?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sometimes think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2957]]></link><description><![CDATA[I sometimes think that God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47122]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than freedom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one has no better method of enticement to offer, the cordial agreement seems to us to be the best ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57836]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one has no better method of enticement to offer, the cordial agreement seems to us to be the best compromise. [Fr., Si l'on n'a pas de meilleurs moyen de seduction a lui offrir, l'entente cordiale nous parait fort compromise.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beethoven can write music, thank God, but he can do nothing else on earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You either love or you hate.

The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62620]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You ask me for a name to pull out the hat to replace Gibbs if he gets seriously injured tomorrow. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42695]]></link><description><![CDATA[You ask me for a name to pull out the hat to replace Gibbs if he gets seriously injured tomorrow.

This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The higher our position the more modestly should we behave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48876]]></link><description><![CDATA[The higher our position the more modestly should we behave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true civilization is where every man gives to every other every right that he claims for himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47296]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true civilization is where every man gives to every other every right that he claims for himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pen is mightier than the sword, but no match for the accountant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15687]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pen is mightier than the sword, but no match for the accountant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sciences may be learned by rote, but wisdom not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64974]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sciences may be learned by rote, but wisdom not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An optimist is a fellow who believes what's going to be will be postponed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45208]]></link><description><![CDATA[An optimist is a fellow who believes what's going to be will be postponed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! the small discredit of a bribe Scarce hurts the lawyer, but undoes the scribe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4905]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! the small discredit of a bribe Scarce hurts the lawyer, but undoes the scribe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4905</guid></item></channel></rss>
