Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated. The essence of modern intellectual snobbery is the 'emperor's new cloths' approach. Teachers, critics, our self-appointed intellectual elite, make it quite clear to us that if we cannot see the superlative nature of this 'art'- why, it merely shows our ignorance, our lack of sophistication and insight. Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor's tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments. The modern tailors dress the emperor in garbage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  Finally, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6659]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  Finally, what do we mean by the word "true"? 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[Regarding the Panama Canal Treaty negotiations, they will find us standing up or dead, but never on our knees; NEVER! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regarding the Panama Canal Treaty negotiations, they will find us standing up or dead, but never on our knees; NEVER!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What has always made a hell on earth has been that man has tried to make it his heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62868]]></link><description><![CDATA[What has always made a hell on earth has been that man has tried to make it his heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64182]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25285]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sad soul can kill you quicker than a germ. -John Steinbeck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18966]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sad soul can kill you quicker than a germ. -John Steinbeck.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize.

He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who moves not forward goes backward! A capital saying! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48366]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who moves not forward goes backward! A capital saying!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is never a better measure of what a person is than what hedoes when he's absolutely free to choose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22437]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is never a better measure of what a person is than what hedoes when he's absolutely free to choose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is gold for you.
