Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who never doubted, never half believed. Where doubt there truth is--'tis her shadow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who never doubted, never half believed. Where doubt there truth is--'tis her shadow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is a confused heap of facts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19449]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is a confused heap of facts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27476]]></link><description><![CDATA[The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Till glowworms light owl-watchmen's flight Through our green metropolis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Till glowworms light owl-watchmen's flight Through our green metropolis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Winter! ruler of the inverted year, . . . .  I crown thee king of intimate delights,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61715]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Winter! ruler of the inverted year, . . . .  I crown thee king of intimate delights,   Fireside enjoyments, home-born happiness,    And all the comforts that the lowly roof     Of undisturb'd Retirement, and the hours      Of long uninterrupted evening, know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Formula for success: Rise early, work hard, strike oil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Formula for success: Rise early, work hard, strike oil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soccer players can do it for 90 minutes in all positions! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soccer players can do it for 90 minutes in all positions!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try to save money.
