Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46899]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are always doing, says he, something for Posterity, but I would fain see Posterity do something for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47851]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are always doing, says he, something for Posterity, but I would fain see Posterity do something for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If yee would know a knave, give him a staffe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49520]]></link><description><![CDATA[If yee would know a knave, give him a staffe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagusWith tigery stripes, and a face on itRound as the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15237]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagusWith tigery stripes, and a face on itRound as the moon, to stare up.I want to be looking at them when they comePicking among the dumb minerals, the roots.I see them already-the pale, star-distance faces.Now they are nothing, they are not even babies.I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods.They will wonder if I was important.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957   I am glad that you have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6702]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957   I am glad that you have been acquainted, from your youth, with the wrestlings of God, being cast from furnace to furnace; knowing, if you were not dear to God, and if your health did not require so much of him, he would not spend as much physic upon you.
