Not only has liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but it is even bound to produce inequality in many respects. This is the necessary result and part of the justification of individual liberty: if the result of individual liberty did not demonstrate that some manners of living are more successful than others, much of the case for it would vanish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great Spirit, help me never to judge another until I have walked in his moccasins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great Spirit, help me never to judge another until I have walked in his moccasins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor has he lived in vain, who from his cradle to his grave has passed his life in seclusion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor has he lived in vain, who from his cradle to his grave has passed his life in seclusion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idol-maker may know, more or less clearly, that he is only giving shape to the half-formed concept of God ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7509]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idol-maker may know, more or less clearly, that he is only giving shape to the half-formed concept of God in his head; that his images are solid metaphors -- what we call symbols. The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honesty is as much saying everything as it is saying what is true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honesty is as much saying everything as it is saying what is true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The line of red are lines of blood, nobly and unselfishly shed by men who loved the liberty of their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45828]]></link><description><![CDATA[The line of red are lines of blood, nobly and unselfishly shed by men who loved the liberty of their fellowmen more than they loved their fellowmen more than they lover their own lives and fortunes.

We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965   The renewal of our natures is a work of great importance. It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ...

I wis, if it had pleased Him, He might have saved us and never felt pain; but in suffering pains and death He did give us example, and teach us how we should do one for another, as He did for us all; for, as He saith himself, "he that will be mine, let him deny himself, and follow me, in bearing my cross and suffering my pains."
