Many honest Christian people experience the shock of a revelation when they are brought to realize that their membership of the Church constitutes a loyalty prior to their loyalty to the nation to which they belong. Patriotism is one of the powerful underground pseudo-religions of to-day, not merely nationalism. The fundamental notion that the Christians are a "peculiar people" that never is identical, or even can be, with a people in the biological, national sense of the word, is largely asleep. It can only become awake by a new grasp of the biblical truth that the Church is the "people of God", an elect race composed of people out of all nations, transcending all nations and races.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capitalism is Man Exploiting Man; Communism is just the opposite ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45128]]></link><description><![CDATA[Capitalism is Man Exploiting Man; Communism is just the opposite]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wouldst thou both eat thy cake and have it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wouldst thou both eat thy cake and have it?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't pity me now, don't pity me never; I'm going to do nothing for ever and ever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't pity me now, don't pity me never; I'm going to do nothing for ever and ever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour only the dead--these the living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16202]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour only the dead--these the living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first law of dietetics seems to be: if it tastes good, it's bad for you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63216]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first law of dietetics seems to be: if it tastes good, it's bad for you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of rashness, but with energy, and sleepless vigilance, go forward and give us victories. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware of rashness, but with energy, and sleepless vigilance, go forward and give us victories.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And taught by thee the Church prolongs Her hymns of high thanksgiving still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58996]]></link><description><![CDATA[And taught by thee the Church prolongs Her hymns of high thanksgiving still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I actually think regulation is bad.
