The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and His Shadow A TRAVELER hired an Ass to convey him to a distant place.

Theday being intensely hot, and the sun shining in its strength, theTraveler stopped to rest, and sought shelter from the heat underthe Shadow of the Ass. As this afforded only protection for one,and as the Traveler and the owner of the Ass both claimed it, aviolent dispute arose between them as to which of them had theright to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let theAss only, and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had,with the hire of the Ass, hired his Shadow also. The quarrelproceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the Assgalloped off. In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18054]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who learns must suffer.

You find him desperately numerous in the civil service, in the official bureaus. To him government is something given as unconditionally, as absolutely as ocean or hill.

His imagination has rarely extricated itself from under the administrative machine to gain any sense of what a human, temporary contraption the whole affair is.

There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life.
