If caustic criticism of religious institutions and practices is irreligious, then Amos, Isaiah, and Jesus were very irreligious men. In fact, that is exactly what many of their contemporaries took them to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12122]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little need of reform in our prisons. -John Ruskin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us reform our schools, and we shall find little need of reform in our prisons. -John Ruskin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170  Owing to the pressure of an ever-increasing number of subjects ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7861]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170  Owing to the pressure of an ever-increasing number of subjects introduced into the curriculum of a school, it is only too possible for men to be held to be educated and intelligent without ever having seriously tested their intelligence upon, say, the Book of Job, or upon the Epistle of Paul to the Romans. No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He always gets it done.

And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature -- either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness.

Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking. And since their organists too are equally reluctant to let any liturgical action pass without a ruminative obbligato on the Swell manual, congregations are subjected to unrelieved noise during a service which may well have begun with the reading of the sentence, "Be still, and know that I am God.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66689]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sun was down, And all the west was paved with sullen fire.  I cried, "Behold! the barren beach ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58340]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sun was down, And all the west was paved with sullen fire.  I cried, "Behold! the barren beach of hell   At ebb of tide."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have had a turtle, a guinea pig, a dog, girlfriends, and many sweet, playful, sleepy, loving, delicious cats.
