Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since when was genius found respectable? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since when was genius found respectable?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In addition to the economic impact dollar figure, of particular interest to us was that the All-Star Game and related ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40411]]></link><description><![CDATA[In addition to the economic impact dollar figure, of particular interest to us was that the All-Star Game and related events generated nearly 20,000 hotel room nights, with an average lodging expense of $403 per group.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assail'd by scandal and the tongue of strife, His only answer was a blameless life;  And he that forged, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Assail'd by scandal and the tongue of strife, His only answer was a blameless life;  And he that forged, and he that threw the dart,   Had each a brother's interest in his heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope I never get so old I get religious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53599]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope I never get so old I get religious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Until the study is complete and presented to NASA and DOD senior officials in October, it is premature to comment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Until the study is complete and presented to NASA and DOD senior officials in October, it is premature to comment on specifics and possible recommendations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60731]]></link><description><![CDATA[The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts: to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, "I was wrong".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Angry poor people are 'enraged.'
