To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope springs exulting on triumphant wing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19766]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope springs exulting on triumphant wing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In talking to the guys elected, several of them were emotional about it.

But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26580]]></link><description><![CDATA[My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don't know anything at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unintelligent people always look for a scapegoat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unintelligent people always look for a scapegoat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37023]]></link><description><![CDATA[When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Subtlety set a trap and caught itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Subtlety set a trap and caught itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do our cats name us?
