We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But to go to school in a summer morn, Oh, it drives all joy away!  Under a cruel eye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13391]]></link><description><![CDATA[But to go to school in a summer morn, Oh, it drives all joy away!  Under a cruel eye outworn,   The little ones spend the day--    In sighing and dismay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all born into the world with nothing.

This creates a chasm between us that admittedly will be very hard to bridge ... Our job is not to give the public what they think they want because what they want changes or is wrong. Look at how it changed after 9/11. Before 9/11 the public was less interested, according to every survey, in Islam or international news. After 9/11, they asked, 'How come you didn't tell us more about Islam and what was going on?' What the public wants is more about Brad and Angelina.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bell never rings of itself; unless some one handles or moves it it is dumb. [Lat., Nunquam aedepol temere ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4121]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Bell never rings of itself; unless some one handles or moves it it is dumb. [Lat., Nunquam aedepol temere tinniit tintinnabulum;  Nisi quis illud tractat aut movet, mutum est, tacet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This has certainly been an exceptional year.
