It blends into the scenery. Many people assume that we live in a "Christian society". Obviously, the Christian church has no strong witness against society. In [a communist country], the situation is exactly the opposite. Christians there live under a political regime which makes a point of distinguishing itself from all religion, and which is grounded philosophically on atheism and materialism. The Church lives in a hostile social order. The result is that the weak Christians are weeded out, and the strong Christians are tremendously strengthened by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These surveys confirm the country's growing concern about excessive secrecy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29285]]></link><description><![CDATA[These surveys confirm the country's growing concern about excessive secrecy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Going to school does not make a person educated, any more than going to a garage makes a person a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Going to school does not make a person educated, any more than going to a garage makes a person a car]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Man wants but little here below Nor wants that little long,"  'Tis not with me exactly so;   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61777]]></link><description><![CDATA["Man wants but little here below Nor wants that little long,"  'Tis not with me exactly so;   But 'tis so in the song.    My wants are many, and, if told,     Would muster many a score;      And were each wish a mint of gold,       I still should long for more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32667]]></link><description><![CDATA[For where the instrument of intelligence is added to brute power and evil will, mankind is powerless in its own defense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She knows as well as anyone that pity, having played, soon tires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46625]]></link><description><![CDATA[She knows as well as anyone that pity, having played, soon tires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness hates the timid!

When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a beautiful thriller, very, very well written, ...

It is the most humanitarian of all known bodies of laws before recent times. The laws about slavery, which envisage the liberation of Hebrew slaves after seven years, are a good example. But there are also laws protecting the poor: interest (always high in the ancient East) was prohibited, and again there was a moratorium after a term of years... Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62200]]></link><description><![CDATA[After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["I cannot bear it!" said the pewter soldier.
