S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only those things are beautiful which are inspired by madness and written by reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only those things are beautiful which are inspired by madness and written by reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quality in a product or service is not what the supplier puts in.

It is what the customer gets out and is willing to pay for. A product is not quality because it is hard to make and costs a lot of money, as manufacturers typically believe. This is incompetence. Customers pay only for what is of use to them and gives them value. Nothing else constitutes quality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A name, it has more than nominal worth, And belongs to good or bad luck at birth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50154]]></link><description><![CDATA[A name, it has more than nominal worth, And belongs to good or bad luck at birth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Relativity applies to physics, not ethics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Relativity applies to physics, not ethics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where passion leads or prudence points the way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where passion leads or prudence points the way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always think that, in Britain, we are terribly ignorant about India, as befits an ex-imperialist nation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40776]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always think that, in Britain, we are terribly ignorant about India, as befits an ex-imperialist nation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the first time we will be able to construct the three-dimensional structures of the atmosphere to better understand the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35711]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the first time we will be able to construct the three-dimensional structures of the atmosphere to better understand the role of clouds and aerosols in Earth's climate,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three can hold their peace, if two be away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three can hold their peace, if two be away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61063]]></link><description><![CDATA[No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Andrew the Apostle   Without ordinances, men would be much more mischievous and ungovernable than dogs and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Andrew the Apostle   Without ordinances, men would be much more mischievous and ungovernable than dogs and cattle.
