Utopias are the straws to which those cling who have no real hope; utopias are as unattractive as they are incredible, for those who know what real hope is. Utopias are not a consequence of true hope but a poor substitute for it and therefore a hindrance and not a help. The hope that is in Jesus Christ is different from all utopias of universal progress. It is based on the revelation of the crucified one. It is, therefore, not an uncertain speculation about the future but a certainty based upon what God has already revealed. One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without knowing for certain that God's victory over all powers of destruction, including death, is the end towards which the time process moves as its own end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,  Seems nowhere to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, Arrives the snow, and, driving o'er the fields,  Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air   Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven,    And veils the farmhouse at the garden's end.     The sled and traveller stopped, the courier's feet      Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit       Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed        In a tumultuous privacy of storm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sinnes are not knowne till they bee acted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sinnes are not knowne till they bee acted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims.
