The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune and love favor the brave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64568]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune and love favor the brave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been a woman for a little over 50 years and have gotten over my initial astonishment.

Not until men get rid of the thought that it is a poor machine, an expedient for saving them from suffering and pain; not until they get the grand idea of it as the great power of God present in and through the lives of men; not until then does Christianity enter upon its true trial and become ready to show what it can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61766]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes all doctrines plain and clear?-- About two hundred pounds a year.  And that which was prov'd true ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12628]]></link><description><![CDATA[What makes all doctrines plain and clear?-- About two hundred pounds a year.  And that which was prov'd true before   Prove false again?

So he is courting the party's most loyal voters at every opportunity. At a time when there is little federal money to spread around, Gore has championed the Administration's empowerment-zone program, which pours millions of dollars into depressed areas like inner Detroit. During the fall campaign, he visited black churches on Sundays with a rousing sermon that an aide described as] very un-Al Gore, ...
