Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a rare exception of mainstream sports that have a fatality rate.

They cannot believe that there is verily an unseen, mysterious power, till the world and all that is in it has vanished in the smoke of despair; till cause and effect are nothing to the intellect, and possible glories have faded from the imagination. Then, deprived of all that made life pleasant or hopeful, the immortal essence, lonely and wretched and unable to cease, looks up with its now unfettered and wakened instinct to the source of its own life -- to the possible God who, notwithstanding all the improbabilities of His existence, may yet perhaps be, and may yet perhaps hear His wretched creature that calls. In this loneliness of despair, life must find The Life: for joy is gone, and life is all that is left; it is compelled to seek its source, its root, its eternal life. This alone remains a possible thing. Strange condition of despair into which the Spirit of God drives a man -- a condition in which the Best alone is the Possible!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few realize how much injury the dogma that baptism is necessary for salvation, badly expounded, has entailed.

As a consequence, they are less cautious. For, where the opinion has prevailed that all are lost who have not happened to be baptized with water, our condition is worse than that of God's ancient people -- as if the grace of God were now more restricted than under the Law!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberty's in every blow! Let us do or die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberty's in every blow! Let us do or die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become.

If he went out to the Ahaggar plateau, it was not only to find but also to proclaim God, thereby teaching the gospel in a way which desert people could understand. After his death, the example set by this hermit was followed by others who, far from settling in the desert places of the Sahara, set out to mingle with the peopled deserts of the great cities, there to preach the gospel by their example and their very presence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are going to do something, you will see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28745]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are going to do something, you will see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28745</guid></item></channel></rss>
