Remember, once more, that this is a matter of life and death. I cannot help speaking urgently, for myself, for yourselves. "Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." That is to say, it is the deliberate verdict of the Lord Jesus that it is better not to have lived than not to love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9666]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's our first road win in conference, and we knew it was really important.

First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marry, this is the short and the long of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marry, this is the short and the long of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, he's a wonderful son-in-law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, he's a wonderful son-in-law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suddenly we found the Sunnis pushed out of the Iraqi government.

There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of the men on my staff can type. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27038]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of the men on my staff can type.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When your views on the world and your intellect are being challengedand you begin to feel uncomfortable because of a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22397]]></link><description><![CDATA[When your views on the world and your intellect are being challengedand you begin to feel uncomfortable because of a contradiction you'vedetected that is threatening your current model of the world or someaspect of it, pay attention.

Ideology may well be defined as religion-substitute. The fact that religious faith expresses itself in the particular ideological forms current in any given period is no reason why we should confuse religion with ideology; and, even though it requires a penetrating and candid investigation to distinguish between the genuinely religious and the merely ideological elements in the outlook of a particular period or individual, this does not mean that religion itself is an aspect of ideology. The core of religious belief is not ideological, whatever may be said of the soft pulp in which it is wrapped up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people to not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/117]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people to not kill each other?

He allowed himself (God allowed him) to be accounted sin by the Law. He refused to do what orthodox Jews of his day thought God had commanded them to do, (i.e.) seek to gain credit with God by keeping the Law. He lived by faith, not Law, and therefore repudiated the Law and the path of self-justification.... He stripped himself even of that claim to moral goodness which would have distinguished him from sinners. Short of becoming a sinner (and Paul shows that this idea is repudiated), how could God come closer to us sinners?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let it rise! let it rise, till it meet the sum in his coming; let the earliest light of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let it rise! let it rise, till it meet the sum in his coming; let the earliest light of the morning gild it, and the parting day linger and play on its summit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I came up-stairs into the world; for I was born in a cellar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2487]]></link><description><![CDATA[I came up-stairs into the world; for I was born in a cellar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one has anything to cash out.
