It is... not merely a sacred book but a book so remorselessly and continuously sacred that it does not invite -- it excludes or repels -- the merely aesthetic approach.

I predict that it will in the future be read, as it always has been read, almost exclusively by Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History teaches us that whenever a weak and ignorant people possess a thing which a strong and enlightened people want, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19457]]></link><description><![CDATA[History teaches us that whenever a weak and ignorant people possess a thing which a strong and enlightened people want, it must be yielded up peaceably.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will not judge a person to be spiritually dead whom I have judged formerly to have had spiritual life, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7124]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will not judge a person to be spiritually dead whom I have judged formerly to have had spiritual life, though I see him at present in a swoon as to all evidences of the spiritual life.

Each new wave of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices. Prejudice and contempt, cloaked in the pretense of religious or political conviction, are no different. They have nearly destroyed us in the past. They plague us still. They fuel the fanaticism of terror. They torment the lives of millions in fractured nations around the world.
