You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We say, not lightly but very literally, that the truth has made us free.

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[And who are the greater criminals--those who sell the instruments of death, or those who buy them and use them? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10683]]></link><description><![CDATA[And who are the greater criminals--those who sell the instruments of death, or those who buy them and use them?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sufficiency of merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27391]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sufficiency of merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such a slender moon, going up and up, Waxing so fast from night to night,  And swelling like an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such a slender moon, going up and up, Waxing so fast from night to night,  And swelling like an orange flower-bud, bright,   Fated, methought, to round as to a golden cup,    And hold to my two lips life's best of wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pursuit of peace and progress cannot end in a few years in either victory or defeat.

And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are God-like, and that God's grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture: and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is anomalous to hold that in order to convict a man the police cannot extract by force what is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46882]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is anomalous to hold that in order to convict a man the police cannot extract by force what is in his mind, but can extract what is in his stomach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The principle of procrastinated rape is said to be the ruling one in all the great bestsellers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4674]]></link><description><![CDATA[The principle of procrastinated rape is said to be the ruling one in all the great bestsellers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you not accustomed to look at home, when you abuse others? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are you not accustomed to look at home, when you abuse others?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mighty pyramids of stone That wedge-like cleave the desert airs,  When nearer seen, and better known,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50580]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mighty pyramids of stone That wedge-like cleave the desert airs,  When nearer seen, and better known,   Are but gigantic flights of stairs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24446]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From wine what sudden friendship springs? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61684]]></link><description><![CDATA[From wine what sudden friendship springs?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61684</guid></item></channel></rss>
