Yet if our world were truly Christian, the change might be a reason for rejoicing. We no longer need our families -- we are therefore free to love them with complete unselfishness. Now at last it is possible to honour our parents genuinely, because they no longer have the power to kill us if we don't. The old sort of honour was sometimes an ugly sham: the son who respects Father only out of fear of punishment is not much of a son, just as the Christian who worships God only out of fear of hell is precious little of a Christian. But the new sort of honour can be a beautiful and holy thing. There are many sweet and sane families bound together by love; there are plenty of experts who remind us that only love can make the modern family work at all. And one must admit that there are plenty of parents very willing to be honoured. The catch is that not so many of them are willing to be honourable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One approaches the journey's end.

We must try to show them that that impossibility is an essential part of the doctrine. If you do not believe our Lord's words, why do you believe in His return at all? And if you do believe them, must you not put away from you, utterly and forever, any hope of dating that return?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To dispense with ceremony is the most delicate mode of conferring a compliment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9264]]></link><description><![CDATA[To dispense with ceremony is the most delicate mode of conferring a compliment]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pay me for my work but I don't do it for the money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62175]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pay me for my work but I don't do it for the money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Orthodoxy is the diehard of the world of thought.

And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We never respect those who amuse us, however we may smile at their comic powers ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53987]]></link><description><![CDATA[We never respect those who amuse us, however we may smile at their comic powers]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only doubt that creates.
