We think of His earthly life as moving on a plane so different from ours that no parallel can be drawn between them. What we forget is, that He too needed to walk by faith, needed to be filled with the Holy Spirit, needed the sympathy of loving friends, needed the strengthening that is gained by private prayer. His strong and beautiful, serene and holy life so fills the eye that we lose sight of His secret intercourse with the Father, out of which came all its beauty, all its power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give us the luxuries of life and we'll dispense with the necessaries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give us the luxuries of life and we'll dispense with the necessaries.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61201]]></link><description><![CDATA[War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chess is not only knowledge and logic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chess is not only knowledge and logic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is not finally tested in the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea that the sole aim of punishment is to prevent crime is obviously grounded upon the theory that crime ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea that the sole aim of punishment is to prevent crime is obviously grounded upon the theory that crime can be prevented, which is almost as dubious as the notion that poverty can be prevented.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ability to delude yourself may be an important survival tool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58397]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ability to delude yourself may be an important survival tool.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From compromise and things half done,     Keep me with stern and stubborn pride; And when at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9297]]></link><description><![CDATA[From compromise and things half done,     Keep me with stern and stubborn pride; And when at last the fight is won,     God, keep me still unsatisfied.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And what's romance?

Nor can any nation survive, or re-establish lasting peace, if it rests on those foundations on which contemporary nations have been built, our own included. What are those crumbling foundations? Conceit, self-will, denial of discipline, self-expressionism, secularism, this worldliness, greed, entrenched privilege, defiance of God's desire. On base absurdities have we built. Have we now moral courage to face our common sin, or are we content to trust in one form of armed wickedness to overcome the evils of another form of the same mad folly? Merely by smashing our enemies we shall not remake the world. By Beelzebub no devils are cast out...
