This view makes them absolute and positive evils, which admit of no remedy or relief.

There is an apparent contradiction here, for how can we abide, and yet advance? It is a paradox, like much else in scripture; but Christian experience proves it true. Those make the best progress in religion who hold fast by the faith once for all delivered to the saints, and not those who drift away from their moorings, rudderless upon a sea of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue.

Is not your love what it is because He put it into your heart first? Have you not often been cross with them? Sometimes unjust to them? Whence came the returning love that rose from unknown depths in your being, and swept away the anger and the injustice? You did not create that love. Probably you were not good enough to send for it by prayer. But it came. God sent it.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21761]]></link><description><![CDATA[If boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vengeance is not the point; change is.

The gates have been opened to evil in part because of a terrible discrepancy between human ideals and actual possibilities -- terrible heresies concerning the nature of man and the structure of the historical universe. Christianity, even if it cannot persuade men to rise to the contemplation of the spiritual things, embodies principles which may at least have the effect of bringing the dreamers down to earth. Because it confronts the problem of human sin, it can face our difficulties and dilemmas without evasions -- without the fundamental evasiveness of those who believe that all would be well with the world if it were not for a few unspeakable criminals, always conveniently identified with the political enemy of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of joys departed Not to return, how painful the remembrance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48677]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of joys departed Not to return, how painful the remembrance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wouldn't say that one is technically better than the other, but polymer is in an earlier state of development. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40136]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wouldn't say that one is technically better than the other, but polymer is in an earlier state of development.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strew on her roses, roses, / And never a spray of yew. / In quiet she reposes: / Ah! would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strew on her roses, roses, / And never a spray of yew. / In quiet she reposes: / Ah! would that I did too!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man must get a thing before he can forget it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16472]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man must get a thing before he can forget it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22186]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No cause is helpless if it is just.
