The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9400]]></link><description><![CDATA[A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3647]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that wipes the childs nose, kisseth the mothers cheeke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that wipes the childs nose, kisseth the mothers cheeke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where may the wearied eye repose, When gazing on the Great;  Where neither guilty glory glows,   Nor ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where may the wearied eye repose, When gazing on the Great;  Where neither guilty glory glows,   Nor despicable state?    Yes--one the first, the last, the best,     The Cincinnatus of the West      Whom envy dared not hate,       Bequeathed the name of Washington        To make man blush; there was but one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think you ever go into a marriage to fail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40917]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think you ever go into a marriage to fail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They made a lot of spirited plays.

To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, insanity is super sanity.
