Even in everyday life we meet with worthy people who seem to think that whatever is pleasant must be wrong, that the true spirit of religion is crabbed, sour, and gloomy; that the bright, sunny, radiant nature which surrounds us is an evil and not a blessing, -- a temptation devised by the Spirit of Evil and not one of the greatest delights showered on us in such profusion by the Author of all Good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whereas wine disorders the mental faculties, opium introduces amongst them the most exquisite order, legislation and harmony.

When this position is expressed, it must be attacked directly and unapologetically, because it represents a genuine evil, ... the idolatry of bricks and mortar, a heresy specifically undermined by the Apostle Paul in Athens when he said, "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man" (Acts 17:24). The notion that it is perfectly all right to sell a New Testament in the department store on Monday, but that it is wrong to sell it in the meetinghouse on Sunday, represents a confusion so great that it is truly appalling. As Christians, we believe in the Real Presence, but it is a severe denial of the divine power to claim that this Presence is limited geographically. If, in a building dedicated to worship, a seeker buys a book on Sunday morning and his life is deepened in consequence, the only important thing to say is that the Gospel has thereby been preached, and this is one of the major tasks of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To apprehend thus Draws us a profit from all things we see,  And often, to our comfort, shall we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3917]]></link><description><![CDATA[To apprehend thus Draws us a profit from all things we see,  And often, to our comfort, shall we find   The sharded beetle in a safer hold    Than is the full-winged eagle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common-sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8010]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common-sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly withstand ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly withstand]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are succeeding in Iraq.
