The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But to the purpose--for we cite our faults That they may hold excused our lawless lives;  And partly, seeing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25137]]></link><description><![CDATA[But to the purpose--for we cite our faults That they may hold excused our lawless lives;  And partly, seeing you are beautified   With goodly shape, and by your own report    A linguist, and a man of such perfection     As we do in our quality much want--]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a lot of freshmen last year and our team never really clicked.

But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people in Barrow thought we would starve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38895]]></link><description><![CDATA[The people in Barrow thought we would starve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scripture will ultimately suffice for a saving knowledge of God only when its certainty is founded upon the inward persuasion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7774]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scripture will ultimately suffice for a saving knowledge of God only when its certainty is founded upon the inward persuasion of the Holy Spirit. Indeed, these human testimonies which exist to confirm it will not be vain if, as secondary aids to our feebleness, they follow that chief and highest testimony.
