You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a very bad crash. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34834]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a very bad crash.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friendly swarry, consisting of a boiled leg of mutton with the usual trimmings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13188]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friendly swarry, consisting of a boiled leg of mutton with the usual trimmings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men forget but never forgive.

When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of Americans think they got a tax cut, and they didn't because their local property tax went up, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14455]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of Americans think they got a tax cut, and they didn't because their local property tax went up, their excise tax went up, their sales tax went up, and their prices went up and everything else, because we failed to invest in some of these other things we ought to be doing. ...
