Any attempts to hide behind the excuse that it is too difficult, when what we mean is that its word is too hard for us to bear, meets the just remark of a pastor from Communist Germany: "How can they say that the Bible is difficult, when young Communists are poring over much more difficult and much more technical literature to discover what Communism is all about?" Sometimes the Biblical teaching is crystal-clear, but we dare not understand it. The Christian Church has a vested interest in its present forms, and Christian people, like others, have their pleasant prejudices. This unwillingness to hear some new thing, except in times of great disturbance, plays a bigger part in weakening the voice of God through the Bible than we are prepared to admit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just, And he but naked, though locked up in steel,  Whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51317]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just, And he but naked, though locked up in steel,  Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are all wrapped up in yourself, you are overdressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52094]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are all wrapped up in yourself, you are overdressed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I decided to do the maximum to hold onto the lead for as long as possible.

The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you. •Woody Allen  At the end of the game the king and the pawn go back in the same box. •Italian Proverb  Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one. •Vladimir Nabokov  Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck. •George Sanders, his suicide note  There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. •Santayana  Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. •George Bernard Shaw  Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. •Dylan Thomas  To live is to dream and to die is to awaken. •Anonymous   We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so at the moment after death. •Nathaniel Hawthorne  All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. •Anatole France   We are bound to our bodies like an oyster is to its shell. •Plato   Dying is like getting out of a car. You leave a shell behind, but you're the same person as ever. •President Klein  The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy . What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. •Richard Bach  If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. •Albert Camus   We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we yearn for another that will be eternal. •Anatole France  I'm the one who has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to. •Jimi Hendrix  The real malady is fear of life, not of death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've learned a great deal about music through my experiences.

History shows this quite clearly. And under these conditions, neither religion nor morality can stop it.When, then, does plunder stop? It stops when it becomes more painful and more dangerous than labor.It is evident, then, that the proper purpose of law is to use the power of its collective force to stop this fatal tendency to plunder instead of to work. All the measures of the law should protect property and punish plunder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beliefs are dangerous.
