He hath carried us up to heaven & set us at the right hand of God, & shall not we endeavour to carry him to those nations, who have not yet heard of his name? Shall we still brag that we have brought our clothes, and our hatchets, and our knives, and bread to this and this value and estimation amongst those poor ignorant Souls, and shall we never glory that we have brought the name, and Religion of Christ Jesus in estimation amongst them? Shall we stay till other nations have planted a false Christ among them? And then either continue in our sloth, or take more pains in rooting out a false Christ than would have planted the true?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All styles are good except the tiresome kind. [Fr., Tous les genres sont bons, hors le genre ennuyeux.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58103]]></link><description><![CDATA[All styles are good except the tiresome kind. [Fr., Tous les genres sont bons, hors le genre ennuyeux.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is what feelings sound like. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is what feelings sound like.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To gauge the understanding and insight that metaphysics provides is to ask whether, in the final analysis, it helps us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57035]]></link><description><![CDATA[To gauge the understanding and insight that metaphysics provides is to ask whether, in the final analysis, it helps us to cope with our world and harmonize our existence with nature, humanity, and ourselves, and leads to greater freedom and self-realization.

Criminal laws are laws, imposed on men, who are already in existence, with or without their consent, and, with the possible exception of capital punishment for murder, there is no logical relation between the nature of a crime and the penalty inflicted for committing it. If God created man, then the laws of man's spiritual nature must, like the laws of his physical nature, be laws -- laws, that is to say, which he is free to defy but no more free to break than he can break the law of gravity by jumping out of the window, or the laws of biochemistry by getting drunk -- and the consequences of defying them must be as inevitable and as intrinsically related to their nature as a broken leg or a hangover. To state spiritual laws in the imperative -- Thou shalt love God with all thy being, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself -- is simply a pedagogical technique, as when a mother says to her small son, "Stay away from the window!" because the child does not yet know what will happen if he falls out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should be more anxious that our afflictions should benefit us than that they should be speedily removed from us.rnRobert ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65478]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should be more anxious that our afflictions should benefit us than that they should be speedily removed from us.rnRobert Hall]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its trust, not in the living God but in dying men.
