Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Polar Express , ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31619]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Polar Express ,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world, is the highest applause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2922]]></link><description><![CDATA[The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world, is the highest applause.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Which is it, is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Which is it, is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think most historians will agree that the part played by impulses of selfish, individual aggression in the holocausts of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47194]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think most historians will agree that the part played by impulses of selfish, individual aggression in the holocausts of history was small; first and foremost, the slaughter was meant as an offering to the gods, to king and country, or the future happiness of mankind. The crimes of Caligula shrink to insignificance compared to the havoc wrought by Torquemada. The number of victims of robbers, highwaymen, rapists, gangsters and other criminals at any period of history is negligible compared to the massive numbers of those cheerfully slain in the name of the true religion, just policy, or correct ideology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a calmness to a life lived in Gratitude, a quiet joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18168]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a calmness to a life lived in Gratitude, a quiet joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't tell me that worry doesn't do any good.
