If that is where it rests, it is an optimism which will suffer ultimate disillusionment. Romanticism will be transmuted into cynicism, as it has always been in the world's history. The faith of a Christian is something quite different from this optimism. It is trust in God, in a good God who created a good world, though the world is not now good; in a good God, powerful and good enough finally to destroy the evil that men do and redeem them of their sins. This kind of faith is not optimism. It does not, in fact, arise until optimism breaks down and men cease to trust in themselves that they are righteous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[from a legal point of view away from the political influences of the United States and Britain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28918]]></link><description><![CDATA[from a legal point of view away from the political influences of the United States and Britain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fanaticism consists of redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fanaticism consists of redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man is destined to drown, he will drown even in a spoonful of water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12102]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man is destined to drown, he will drown even in a spoonful of water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That it may please you leave these sad designs To him that hath most cause to be a mourner,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53831]]></link><description><![CDATA[That it may please you leave these sad designs To him that hath most cause to be a mourner,  And presently repair to Crosby House;   Where--after I have solemnly interred    At Chertsey monast'ry with noble king--     And wet his grave with my repentant tears--      I will with all expedient duty see you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men have died from time to time, and worms have eaten them,—but not for love. -As You Like It.

God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything else but a state of emptiness. The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this: it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in it and in union with it. And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's put it this way, ...
