I hope I am not wrong in saying that there is nothing Christian in such an attitude. It savours of the Paganism that saw behind the world a kind of ironical malice; that made Polycrates throw his ring into the sea, and called the Furies the Kindly Ones, if haply they might be so appeased.   But we stand outside this world of darkness, for we have learnt that all things were created by the eternal Word, who is Christ Jesus. We know, in the Pauline phrase, that it is in Him that the whole universal order of things consists or holds together. Those who have come to know that, know in consequence that they are in their Father's house. It is a big house, and they have begun to explore only a little of it. It has great reaches, and some of them are still shadowy. But it is His house, all of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That miscellaneous collection of a few wise and many foolish individuals, called the public. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52480]]></link><description><![CDATA[That miscellaneous collection of a few wise and many foolish individuals, called the public.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any time you seem to gain momentum, they snatch it right back with a big shift right away or a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28810]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any time you seem to gain momentum, they snatch it right back with a big shift right away or a couple of shifts later.

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary;   And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together   Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,   And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently,   The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts   The blessings of His Heav'n. No ear may hear His coming,   But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still,   The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem,   Descend to us, we pray, Cast out our sins, and enter in,   Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels   The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us,   Our Lord Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend in need is a friend indeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51064]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend in need is a friend indeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than the freedom to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom is not an ideal, it is not even a protection, if it means nothing more than the freedom to stagnate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as a little country.
