How do we distinguish real Truth from human notions and ideas and opinions and doctrines? We are compelled to say that the word "true" means "grounded in reality, based on the real nature of things, on the basic facts which underlie the universe." Hence, if people say -- as many have said -- that the moral ideals set out in the gospels are high and noble ideals, and express admiration for the moral character of Jesus, and stop there, not daring to affirm more than that, the answer they are giving to the Question, "Is the Gospel true?", is No.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't tell a woman she's pretty; tell her there's no other woman like her, and all roads will open to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't tell a woman she's pretty; tell her there's no other woman like her, and all roads will open to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A "should" is a "have to" with no teeth; it is deadenergy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22599]]></link><description><![CDATA[A "should" is a "have to" with no teeth; it is deadenergy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew they were going to double- team, triple-team me.

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers, or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will... It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so. They have not advised or changed God' s mind -- that is, His overall purpose. But that purpose will be realized in different ways according to the actions, including the prayers, of His creatures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that complies against his will, Is of his own opinion still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16692]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that complies against his will, Is of his own opinion still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380  God is often faulted for creating a world full of suffering ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380  God is often faulted for creating a world full of suffering and evil. The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155   To worship effectively is to enable men to become free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6772]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155   To worship effectively is to enable men to become free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love makes all hard hearts gentle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love makes all hard hearts gentle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man is a creature that needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35166]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man is a creature that needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of the laws which structure his conformity and define his deviancy]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to believe in yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64113]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to believe in yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The theory of evolution must be considered as a scientific theory, as theory, that is, proposed to explain or systemize ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56960]]></link><description><![CDATA[The theory of evolution must be considered as a scientific theory, as theory, that is, proposed to explain or systemize a set of facts, and that no one has any claim to be considered as a serious rival to Darwin in the "discovery" of this theory who did not conduct his evolutionary studies upon a reasonably wide basis of facts. To have ideas, apercus, is not enough, and it is the overevalutation of such clever but uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of the final theory are collected from widely scattered sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the originality of him who was the first to see how such a synthesis was possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two types of people in this world, good and bad.
