The reaction to such a study may indeed prove to be conversion or open hostility, but it would at least mean the end of childish and ill-informed attacks upon what is supposed to be the Christian religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All lovely things will have an ending, All lovely things will fade and die; And youth, that's now so bravely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32122]]></link><description><![CDATA[All lovely things will have an ending, All lovely things will fade and die; And youth, that's now so bravely spending, Will beg a penny by and by]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can protect your liberties in this world only by protecting the other man's freedom.

The Stoics tried the hopeless little game of denying its objective reality, or of declaring it a good in itself (which it never is); and the Pessimists attempted to revel in it, as a food to their melancholy, and as something that can no more be transformed than it can be avoided or explained. But Christ came, and He did not really explain it; He did far more: He met it, willed it, transformed it; and He taught us to do all this -- or, rather, He Himself does it within us, if we do not hinder the all-healing hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thread breakes, where it is weakest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49921]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thread breakes, where it is weakest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always remember, pain makes people change.
