If he had been asked what especially he conceived his own duty to be, he would have said that it was to force men to realize once more that the world was actually governed by a just God; that the old familiar story, acknowledged everywhere in words on Sundays and disregarded or openly denied on week-days, was, after all, true. His writings, every one of them, ... were to this same purpose and on this same text -- that truth must be spoken and justice must be done; on any other conditions, no real commonwealth, no common welfare, is permitted or possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let fancy still in my sense in Lethe steep; If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let fancy still in my sense in Lethe steep; If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can do what you want, but saving love doesn't bring any interest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2232]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can do what you want, but saving love doesn't bring any interest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Popular Applause! what heart of man Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2921]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Popular Applause! what heart of man Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As to Caesar, when he was called upon, he gave no testimony against Clodius, nor did he affirm that he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58409]]></link><description><![CDATA[As to Caesar, when he was called upon, he gave no testimony against Clodius, nor did he affirm that he was certain of any injury done to his bed.

He is free to move from place to place, from job to job, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and -- if he has attained a high degree of emancipation -- from wife to wife. He is in every context a more and more anonymous and replaceable part, the perfect incarnation of the rationalist conception of man. Wherever western civilization has spread in the past one hundred years, it has carried this atomizing process with it. Its characteristic product in Calcutta, Shanghai, or Johannesburg, is the modern city into which myriads of human beings, loosened from their old ties in village or tribe or caste, like grains of sand fretted by water from an ancient block of sandstone, are ceaselessly churned around in the whirlpool of the city -- anonymous, identical, replaceable units. In such a situation, it is natural that men should long for some sort of real community, for men cannot be human without it. It is especially natural that Christians should reach out after that part of Christian doctrine which speaks of the true, God-given community, the Church of Jesus Christ. We have witnessed the appalling results of trying to go back to some sort of primitive collectivity based on the total control of the individual, down to the depths of his spirit, by an all-powerful group. Yet we know that we cannot condemn this solution to the problem of man's loneliness if we have no other to offer. It is natural that men should ask with a greater eagerness than ever before, such questions as these: "Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found, what are its marks, and how is it related to, and dis tinguished from, the known communities of family, nation, and culture? What are its boundaries, its structure, its terms of membership? And how comes it that those who claim to be the spokesmen of that one holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature, and unable to agree to live together in unity and concord?" The breakdown of Christendom has forced such questions as these to the front. I think that there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give them plain and credible answers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pot boils badly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50836]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pot boils badly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ignorance wavers between extreme audacity and extreme shyness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ignorance wavers between extreme audacity and extreme shyness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Britannia needs no bulwarks No towers along the steep;  Her march is o'er the mountain wave,   Her ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Britannia needs no bulwarks No towers along the steep;  Her march is o'er the mountain wave,   Her home is on the deep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laughter is man's most distinctive emotional expression. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laughter is man's most distinctive emotional expression.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Martha had a very good time, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Martha had a very good time,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Oscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, Martyr, 1980 Commemoration of Paul Couturier, Priest, Ecumenist, 1953   Counter-culture's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6361]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Oscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, Martyr, 1980 Commemoration of Paul Couturier, Priest, Ecumenist, 1953   Counter-culture's glad tidings of revolution by consciousness are neither new nor revolutionary. Christianity has been trying to achieve a revolution by consciousness for two thousand years. Who would deny that Christian consciousness could have changed the world? Yet it was the world that changed Christian consciousness. If everybody adopted a peaceful, loving, generous, noncompetitive lifestyle, we could have something better than counter-culture -- we could have the Kingdom of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However successful you are, there is no substitute for a close relationship.
