A bad cause can become good if enough people fight for it in a spirit of comradeship and self-sacrifice. In the end it is how you fight, as much as why you fight, that makes your cause good or bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bone to the dog is not charity.

The New Testament [again, and notoriously, in the person of St Paul] assumes that there will be places other than the bedroom in which men and women assume consciously differentiated roles. They will do so in the affairs of the home, in which the wife is to "submit" to her husband (Eph. 5:22ff) as head. They will do so even outside the context of family life, since man is "head" of woman in some sense; in quite another context, when the Church is at worship (I Cor. 11:2ff). In order that St Paul should not be misjudged, we must note--(a) that this relational ordering of male and female presupposes a fundamental generic equality (I Cor. 11:1 ff); and (b) that the "submission" of the wife is a special case of a "submission" of all Christians to one another, and complements a husband's love that is to be expressed in self-sacrifice (Eph. 5:2lff, 25ff). The apostle is not an apologist for male tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I would almost rather have people take away years of my life than take away a moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes I would almost rather have people take away years of my life than take away a moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By low ambition and the thirst of praise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2317]]></link><description><![CDATA[By low ambition and the thirst of praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're thrilled to have developed a game that appeals to massively multiplayer players, as well as fans of the original ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37708]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're thrilled to have developed a game that appeals to massively multiplayer players, as well as fans of the original pen-and-paper game.

This we see in Christ when He saith: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."  ... Theologia Germanica  June 21, 1998  Alas! day by day we ask that His Will may be done, and yet, when it comes to the doing, we find it so hard! We offer ourselves so often to God -- we continually say, "Lord, I am Thine, I give Thee my heart," and when He accepts it, we are such cowards.
