I hope I am not wrong in saying that there is nothing Christian in such an attitude. It savours of the Paganism that saw behind the world a kind of ironical malice; that made Polycrates throw his ring into the sea, and called the Furies the Kindly Ones, if haply they might be so appeased.   But we stand outside this world of darkness, for we have learnt that all things were created by the eternal Word, who is Christ Jesus. We know, in the Pauline phrase, that it is in Him that the whole universal order of things consists or holds together. Those who have come to know that, know in consequence that they are in their Father's house. It is a big house, and they have begun to explore only a little of it. It has great reaches, and some of them are still shadowy. But it is His house, all of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing you will take through those pearly gates is what youhave given away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22319]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing you will take through those pearly gates is what youhave given away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with unemployment is that the minute you wake up in the morning you're on the job. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60081]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with unemployment is that the minute you wake up in the morning you're on the job.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the Greeks said, "Whom the gods love die young," they probably meant, as Lord Sankey suggested, that those favored ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52349]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the Greeks said, "Whom the gods love die young," they probably meant, as Lord Sankey suggested, that those favored by the gods stay young till the day they die; young and playful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kind messages, that pass from land to land; Kind letters, that betray the heart's deep history,  In which we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kind messages, that pass from land to land; Kind letters, that betray the heart's deep history,  In which we feel the pressure of a hand,--   One touch of fire,--and all the rest is mystery!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22245]]></link><description><![CDATA[The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, exercises a public trust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, exercises a public trust.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle.

Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.
