Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The salvation of the world is in man's suffering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58225]]></link><description><![CDATA[The salvation of the world is in man's suffering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I haven't touched my brother in almost 18 years.(in reference to cruel prison regulations in Mansfield Ohioprison)http://www.kennyisinnocent.org http://www.petitiononline.com/manci. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/267]]></link><description><![CDATA[I haven't touched my brother in almost 18 years.(in reference to cruel prison regulations in Mansfield Ohioprison)http://www.kennyisinnocent.org http://www.petitiononline.com/manci.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66590]]></link><description><![CDATA[For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Israeli factor was suspiciously present in all the events witnessed by the region, and the developments proved that Israel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29897]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Israeli factor was suspiciously present in all the events witnessed by the region, and the developments proved that Israel was the most prominent and the major benefactor from these events,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendships are fragile things and require as much care in handling as any other fragile and precious thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendships are fragile things and require as much care in handling as any other fragile and precious thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was the best thing that happened to me, a tournament like that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28912]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was the best thing that happened to me, a tournament like that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556   One of the catchwords in contemporary ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556   One of the catchwords in contemporary Protestantism is that religion must aid man in "becoming human" or even "truly human" -- whatever that means -- and the "model" is Christ. Take the "obvious things" about Christ as listed by a contemporary minister:  He was a popular and controversial preacher; He gathered a group of followers; He spent most of his time with the disinherited; He taught with authority; He never married; He never (so far as we know) held a job; He did not participate in public affairs; He did not have income, property, or an address; He was in bitter and frequent conflict with the religious and political authorities; He seemed to expect that the world would be eminently, radically, and supernaturally transformed; He attacked the traditions and values of his own people; He practically forced the authorities to prosecute and execute him. There is nothing exclusively religious, much less Christian, in this description, which, with a few exceptions, might apply also to Socrates or to "Che" Guevara. I asked many socially oriented ministers why they were Christians at all. Some said through faith, and some said that Christianity gave them courage and the motivation to endure (but so do other beliefs). Some said they hardly knew and that, if another, more acceptable, ideology came along, they would embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind.
