And hence it is that worse passions, or a worse degree of them are to be found in persons of great religious zeal than in others that made no pretenses to it. History also furnishes us with instances of persons of great piety and devotion who have fallen into great delusions and deceived both themselves and others. The occasion of their fall was this: ...

In a subtle way, talking about something becomes an excuse for not doing it. This new bolt-hole of the conference and study group is not confined to the local congregation. It is a painful fact of life in the central structures of the churches. We have a welter of reports, commissions, surveys, liaison bodies, and so on. They have the appearance of progressive thinking and readiness to face change, combined with the function of being delaying devices. They are the sacraments of current Christianity, and its dilemma. Outreach is a move from power structures to meekness structures, and, in spite of the fact that Christians believe that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, they show (as in the ecumenical movement) a distinct reluctance to relinquish power-structure thinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chance is a nickname for Providence. [Fr., Le hasard est un sobriquet de la Providence.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chance is a nickname for Providence. [Fr., Le hasard est un sobriquet de la Providence.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't feel I deserve a raise just because the price of gasoline is going up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30892]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't feel I deserve a raise just because the price of gasoline is going up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51521]]></link><description><![CDATA[O coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I swear it upon Zeus an outstanding runner cannot be the equal of an average wrestler. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62383]]></link><description><![CDATA[I swear it upon Zeus an outstanding runner cannot be the equal of an average wrestler.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am glad that he thanks God for anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58987]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am glad that he thanks God for anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And if his name be George, I 'll call him Peter; For new-made honour doth forget men's names. -King John. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55779]]></link><description><![CDATA[And if his name be George, I 'll call him Peter; For new-made honour doth forget men's names. -King John.
