You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8513</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[Hats off! Along the street there comes  A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,   A flash ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hats off! Along the street there comes  A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,   A flash of color beneath the sky:    Hats off!     The flag is passing by.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You lie--under a mistake-- For this is the most civil sort of lie  That can be given to a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26115]]></link><description><![CDATA[You lie--under a mistake-- For this is the most civil sort of lie  That can be given to a man's face, I now   Say what I think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice.

It is interesting to note that in the first centuries of the Christian era many demoniacal phenomena appeared in countries in the course of being converted from idolatry to Christianity. The same is true of pagan civilisation today. In my research into the fourth century, I was surprised to find a great recrudescence of magical practices at the very moment when Roman civilization under Constantine was about to be snatched away bodily from paganism and enter... into the kingdom of the Son; at that time, all the rites of sorcery took on an incredible virulence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not for nothing, either, that the umbrella has become the very foremost badge of modern civilization--the Urim and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60004]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not for nothing, either, that the umbrella has become the very foremost badge of modern civilization--the Urim and Thummim of respectability. . . .
