Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost; let a man who knows the double path ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62612]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost; let a man who knows the double path of gain and loss thus place himself that knowledge may grow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Communism is not the opposite of democracy.

If we admit that men can do very well without Christ, we accept the Saviour only as a luxury for ourselves. If they can do very well without Christ, then so could we. This is to turn our backs upon the Christ of the gospels and the Christ of Acts and to turn our faces towards law, morality, philosophy, natural religion. We look at the moral teaching of some of the heathen nations and we find it higher than we had expected... Or we look at morality in Christian lands, and we begin to wonder whether our practice is really much higher than theirs, and we say, "They are very well as they are. Leave them alone." When we so speak and think we are treating the question of the salvation of men exactly as we should have treated it had Christ never appeared in the world at all. It is an essentially pre-Christian attitude, and implies that the Son of God has not been delivered for our salvation. It suggests that the one and only way of salvation known to me is to keep the commandments. That was indeed true before the coming of the Son of God, before the Passion, before the Resurrection, before Pentecost; but after Pentecost that is no longer true. After Pentecost, the answer to any man who inquires the way of salvation is no longer "Keep the law," but "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always try to balance the light with the heavy -- a few tears of human spirit in with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3683]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always try to balance the light with the heavy -- a few tears of human spirit in with the sequins and the fringes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intel engineering seem to have misheard Intel marketing strategy.

The Hound, feeling much aggrieved at this, reproached his companion, saying, It is very hard to have all this labor, while you, who do not assist in the chase, luxuriate on the fruits of my exertions. The Housedog replied, Do not blame me, my friend, but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to labor, but to depend for subsistence on the labor of others. Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of those things that's good to see him running around. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39813]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of those things that's good to see him running around.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[American labor, which is the capital of our workingmen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23928]]></link><description><![CDATA[American labor, which is the capital of our workingmen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He paints a dolphin in the woods, a boar in the waves. [Lat., Delphinum sylvis appingit, fluctibus aprum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20522]]></link><description><![CDATA[He paints a dolphin in the woods, a boar in the waves. [Lat., Delphinum sylvis appingit, fluctibus aprum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more the years go by, the less I know.
