It may be that today the philosopher is honouring the Name af God when he insists that we should know what we mean when we utter our religious language and that we should be ready to have that meaning tested. It may be that other philosophers hallow the Name when they refuse to allow us to withdraw it to some supernatural realm, but insist on wrestling with the unknown God in the agony and joy of existence, crying with Jacob, "Tell me, I pray thee, thy Name." And is not the scientist honouring the Name when he patiently and obediently follows where the evidence leads? Or the social scientist when he asks us to understand what is before we begin pronouncing what ought to be? God does not spend all His time in Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reward of one duty is the power to fulfil another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13051]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reward of one duty is the power to fulfil another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63684]]></link><description><![CDATA[A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12888]]></link><description><![CDATA[So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make yourself necessary to somebody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44031]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make yourself necessary to somebody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man is like the company he is wont to keep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27882]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man is like the company he is wont to keep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every success is built on the ability to do better than good enough ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every success is built on the ability to do better than good enough]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Albrecht Dürer, artist, 1528, and Michelangelo Buonarrotti, artist, spiritual writer, 1564  We think of the early sacrifices ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Albrecht Dürer, artist, 1528, and Michelangelo Buonarrotti, artist, spiritual writer, 1564  We think of the early sacrifices of those early Christians; but what struck them was the immensity of their inheritance in Christ. 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[The fear of death follows from the fear of life.
