Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows public opinion ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11590]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows public opinion]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break,  Never dreamed, though right ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10275]]></link><description><![CDATA[One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break,  Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph,   Held we fall to rise, are baffled to flight better,    Sleep to wake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most wonderfully complex fictional character is much less complicated than the most boring actual person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1494]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most wonderfully complex fictional character is much less complicated than the most boring actual person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An unjust peace is better than a just war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61179]]></link><description><![CDATA[An unjust peace is better than a just war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies, And tires their echoes with unvaried cries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies, And tires their echoes with unvaried cries.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are permitted in time of great danger to walk with the devil until you have crossed the bridge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11055]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are permitted in time of great danger to walk with the devil until you have crossed the bridge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're seeing a lot of these. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34395]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're seeing a lot of these.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger blows out the lamp of the mind.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item></channel></rss>
