Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57013]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it is cured on one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't win if you don't play as a unit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3798]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't win if you don't play as a unit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A house that does not have one warm, comfy chair in it is soulless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66680]]></link><description><![CDATA[A house that does not have one warm, comfy chair in it is soulless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't long for the unripe grape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't long for the unripe grape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If some people didn't tell you, you'd never know they'd been away on a vacation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60316]]></link><description><![CDATA[If some people didn't tell you, you'd never know they'd been away on a vacation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To laugh at men of sense is the privilege of fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28068]]></link><description><![CDATA[To laugh at men of sense is the privilege of fools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may be that the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong -- but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1014]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may be that the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong -- but that is the way to bet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baghdad is at the heart of the major issues of our time.

He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations." The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I suspect that hunger was my mother. [Lat., Famem fuisse suspicor matrem mihi.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20157]]></link><description><![CDATA[I suspect that hunger was my mother. [Lat., Famem fuisse suspicor matrem mihi.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just like classic cars.
