That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is something of a surprise just because the backlash was so strong last year to reinstate full funding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32180]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is something of a surprise just because the backlash was so strong last year to reinstate full funding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61537]]></link><description><![CDATA[All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More are taken in by hope than by cunning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10836]]></link><description><![CDATA[More are taken in by hope than by cunning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62454]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps it is impossible for a person who does no good to do no harm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps it is impossible for a person who does no good to do no harm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The peasant thanked her with their tears, When food and clothes were given;  "This is a joy," the lady ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51552]]></link><description><![CDATA[The peasant thanked her with their tears, When food and clothes were given;  "This is a joy," the lady said,   "Saints cannot taste in heaven."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you understand life----you understand life's potential. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you understand life----you understand life's potential.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mistrust the man who finds everything good; the man who finds everything evil; and still more the man who is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mistrust the man who finds everything good; the man who finds everything evil; and still more the man who is indifferent to everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What will the stream become in its lengthened course, if it be so turpid as its source? [It., Qual diverra ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52593]]></link><description><![CDATA[What will the stream become in its lengthened course, if it be so turpid as its source? [It., Qual diverra quel fiume,  Nel lungo suo cammino,   Se al fonte ancor vicino    E torbido cosi?]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let no man seek Henceforth to be foretold that shall befall  Him or his children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let no man seek Henceforth to be foretold that shall befall  Him or his children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  The denominations, churches, sects, are sociological groups whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  The denominations, churches, sects, are sociological groups whose principle of differentiation is to be sought in their conformity to the order of social classes and castes. It would not be true to affirm that the denominations are not religious groups with religious purposes; but it is true that they represent the accommodation of religion to the caste system. They are emblems, therefore, of the victory of the world over the church, of the secularization of Christianity, of the church's sanction of that divisiveness which the church's gospel condemns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice Stevens is one of those who are most sensitiveto the least powerful in our society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24309]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice Stevens is one of those who are most sensitiveto the least powerful in our society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Risk assessment has not proven itself infallible.

Blessed hills, that heard the song Of the glorious angel-throng, Swelling all your slopes along. Happy shepherds, on whose ear Fell the tidings glad and dear, "God to man is drawing near." Happy, happy, Bethlehem, Judah's least but brightest gem, Where the rod from Jesse's stem, Scion of a princely race, Sprung in Heaven's own perfect grace, Yet in feeble lowliness. This, the woman's promised seed, Abram's mighty Son indeed; Succourer of earth's great need. This the victor in our war, This the glory see afar, This the light of Jacob's star! Happy Judah, rise and own Him the heir of David's throne David's Lord, and David's Son. Let the dayspring from on high. That arose in Judah's sky. Cover earth eternally. Babe of Bethlehem, to Thee, Infant of eternity, Everlasting glory be!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alternate heating sources seems to be a hot item this year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alternate heating sources seems to be a hot item this year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was prettily devised of Aesop: The fly sat upon the axle-tree of the chariot-wheel, and said, What a dust ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16219]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was prettily devised of Aesop: The fly sat upon the axle-tree of the chariot-wheel, and said, What a dust do I raise!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet thanks I must you con That you are thieves professed, that you work not  In holier shapes; for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet thanks I must you con That you are thieves professed, that you work not  In holier shapes; for there is boundless theft   In limited professions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man, if you gotta ask you'll never know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man, if you gotta ask you'll never know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8236]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no country to fight for; my country is the earth, and I am a citizen of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9010]]></link><description><![CDATA[A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And were it not that they are loath to lay out money on a rope, they would be hanged forthwith, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42736]]></link><description><![CDATA[And were it not that they are loath to lay out money on a rope, they would be hanged forthwith, and sometimes die to save charges.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rest strengthens the body, the mind too is thus supported; but unremitting toil destroys both. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rest strengthens the body, the mind too is thus supported; but unremitting toil destroys both.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cosmetic surgery and poker are popular right now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cosmetic surgery and poker are popular right now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[John has the ability, he is a slippery player, he is able to use good speed and he has a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38083]]></link><description><![CDATA[John has the ability, he is a slippery player, he is able to use good speed and he has a great change of direction.
