Ecclesiastics seems for the most part to have failed, failed both man and God; but God has not failed, Jesus has not failed. The God-man still remains the only leader into cooperation whose wisdom is sufficient for a permanent, competent, and free Society. The dictators and would-be dictators will not do. They overreach themselves. Eventually they will destroy one another, and kill off most of us. But even that disaster will not eradicate the desire of men and women to lay down lives for that which is more than themselves. Men will continue to demand not the freedom from that degree of unity for which the dictatorships stand, but rather a finer, more noble, more perceptive kind of unity: a human solidarity which is not nationalistic but world-embracing, a human integration which in aim and purpose is not secularist but spiritual. What the world unwittingly is groping after is allegiance to the eternal, the compassionate, the completely integrating Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest glory never comes from falling, but from rising each time you fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31988]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest glory never comes from falling, but from rising each time you fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very important that they keep us thinking and keep us learning.
