Our duty is to see whether God is with us; whether we expect great things from Him; whether we do not practically place Him far off, forgetting that, if He is, He is about us, speaking to us words that have not been heard before, guiding us to paths on which earlier generations have not been able to enter. There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus conscience does make cowards of us all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus conscience does make cowards of us all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't shake hands with a clenched fist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1011]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't shake hands with a clenched fist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14805]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would of course speak with any interested shareholder of relevant thoughts and perspectives.

For the word "German" he would gladly have substituted the word "human" because he was concerned to comment on "the primary text of human existence," finding there, as in the Bible, the universal themes of suffering and joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many men are mere warehouses full of merchandise--the head, the heart, are stuffed with goods. . . .

If the universe is so bad, or even half so bad, how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator? Men are fools, perhaps; but hardly so foolish as that. The direct inference from black to white, from evil flower to virtuous root, from senseless work to a workman infinitely wise, staggers belief. The spectacle of the universe as revealed by experience can never have been the ground of religion: it must have always been something in spite of which religion, acquired from a different source, was held.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truest characters of ignorance are vanity, and pride and arrogance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3117]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truest characters of ignorance are vanity, and pride and arrogance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like one Who having into truth, by telling of it, Made such a sinner of his memory, To credit his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56104]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like one Who having into truth, by telling of it, Made such a sinner of his memory, To credit his own lie. -The Tempest.
