If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always wished for this, but it\'s almost turning into more of a nightmare than a dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66723]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always wished for this, but it\'s almost turning into more of a nightmare than a dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Folly growes without watering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Folly growes without watering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Can you do addition?" the White Queen asked.

It is not enough to express formal belief in the "Incarnation" or in the "Divinity of. Christ"; the staggering truth must be accepted afresh -- that in this vast, mysterious universe, of which we are an almost infinitesimal part, the great Mystery, Whom we call God, has visited our planet in Person. It is from this conviction that there springs unconquerable certainty and unquenchable faith and hope. It is not enough to believe theoretically that Jesus was both God and Man; not enough to admire, respect, and even worship Him; it is not even enough to try to follow Him. The reason for the insufficiency of these things is that the modern intelligent mind, which has had its horizons widened in dozens of different ways, has got to be shocked afresh by the audacious central Fact -- that, as a sober matter of history, God became one of us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In other men we faults may spy, And blame the mote that dims their eye;  Each little speck and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23532]]></link><description><![CDATA[In other men we faults may spy, And blame the mote that dims their eye;  Each little speck and blemish find,   To our own stronger errors blind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63776]]></link><description><![CDATA[How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One who has lost confidence can lose nothing more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9710]]></link><description><![CDATA[One who has lost confidence can lose nothing more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sabi is the color of haikai.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing a book is an adventure.
