I am referring to the almost total ignorance of the content and implication of the Christian Faith shown by many "clever" people today. Frankly, I find it horrifying to discover that men who are experts in their own line -- in astronomy, genetics, or nuclear physics, for example -- have no adult knowledge of what the Church of Christ stands for, and a complete blank ignorance of what the Church is achieving today. It is the more horrifying because people who rightly respect the expert for his knowledge in his own field have no idea that he has not carefully examined and reluctantly discarded Christianity; but in all probability he has never studied it at all!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll try to wipe this one away as quickly as possible.

Success and failure are unavoidably related in our minds with the state of things around us.

The tendency to look for all causes outside ourselves persists even when it is clear that our state of being is the product of personal qualities such as ability, character, appearance, health and so on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art thou the bird whom Man loves best, The pious bird with the scarlet breast,  Our little English Robin; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54345]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art thou the bird whom Man loves best, The pious bird with the scarlet breast,  Our little English Robin;   The bird that comes about our doors    When autumn winds are sobbing?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him.
