We shrink from the consequences of truth. We look round and cling dependently. We ask what men will think; what others will say; whether they will not stare in astonishment. Perhaps they will; but he who is calculating that, will accomplish nothing in this life. The Father -- the Father which is with us and in us -- what does He think? God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I should be proud to have my memory graced, but only if the monument be placed... here, where I endured ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29399]]></link><description><![CDATA[I should be proud to have my memory graced, but only if the monument be placed... here, where I endured three hundred hours in line before the implacable iron bars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water is the mother of the vine, The nurse and fountain of fecundity,  The adorner and refresher of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water is the mother of the vine, The nurse and fountain of fecundity,  The adorner and refresher of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nick's very athletic and gives us an imposing presence coming off the edge.

Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live. Not man as "pure reason": his reason is not pure. Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure... to good or to demonic purpose. Not man with his steps on the highroad called evolution: he is relatively free and, therefore, can and does wreck any evolution unless some Grace constantly renews his onward journey. Not man who by his science is sure to fashion a "brave new world"; by science he can destroy the world. Not man as centrally and characteristically a reasonable creature who needs only that his mind shall be educated to build a reasonable world. Not man regarded in any naive faith, but man as potentially divine and potentially unworthy, who stands always in need of help from beyond the confines of the natural order. If education confronts this faith, education will know that the mind's adventure also, like all things human, stands in need of redemption; and it can then proceed with lowliness, and thus with the power and light which are the reward of the lowly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor must not professedly teach and it must not professedly preach, but it must do both if it would live ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humor must not professedly teach and it must not professedly preach, but it must do both if it would live forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a different format.
