They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An honest tale speeds best being plainly told. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51517]]></link><description><![CDATA[An honest tale speeds best being plainly told.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The opposition sought to exploit the achievements of the upheaval, so it brokered a deal in Paris in mid-April, which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34379]]></link><description><![CDATA[The opposition sought to exploit the achievements of the upheaval, so it brokered a deal in Paris in mid-April, which allowed the Lebanese-Syrian police regime to buy time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are as many opinions as there are experts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44963]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are as many opinions as there are experts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger, even when it punishes the faults of delinquents, ought not to precede reason as its mistress, but attend as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger, even when it punishes the faults of delinquents, ought not to precede reason as its mistress, but attend as a handmaid at the back of reason, to come to the front when bidden.

Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This body is not a home but an inn, and that only briefly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4437]]></link><description><![CDATA[This body is not a home but an inn, and that only briefly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hasty conclusions lead to speedy repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hasty conclusions lead to speedy repentance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have an imposing front line, and we had a tough time matching up against them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39729]]></link><description><![CDATA[They have an imposing front line, and we had a tough time matching up against them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing on earth you cannot have - once you have mentally accepted the fact that you can have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47776]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing on earth you cannot have - once you have mentally accepted the fact that you can have it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a heart breaksit also opens-Jeff Arch- screenwriter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/727]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a heart breaksit also opens-Jeff Arch- screenwriter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64188]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can read this, thank a teacher. -Anonymous teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13541]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can read this, thank a teacher. -Anonymous teacher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had to put my money on it, ...

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65048]]></link><description><![CDATA[The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When television is good, nothing is better.
