In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fine art and pizza delivery: what we do falls neatly in between. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fine art and pizza delivery: what we do falls neatly in between.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is not knowing but doing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is not knowing but doing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nay, but do so then; and look you, he may come and go between you both; and in any case ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nay, but do so then; and look you, he may come and go between you both; and in any case have a nay-word, that you may know one another's mind, and the boy never need to understand anything; for 'tis not good that children should know any wickedness.

We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Santa is our culture's only mythic figure truly believed in by a large percentage of the population.
