The younger generation is not primarily to be blamed. Those who are struggling today, those who are far away and doing that which is completely contrary to the Christian conscience, are not first to be blamed. It is my generation, and the generation that preceded me, who turned away. Today we are left, not only with a religion and a church without meaning, but... with a culture without meaning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in.

One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instinct is untaught ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instinct is untaught ability.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things.

It would assuredly make a difference if Christians, in their approach one to another, realized that, in spite of appearances, they were in fact one. If, in their seeking after external reunion, they realized that they were seeking not to create a unity which does not yet exist, but to find an expression for a unity which does exist, which is indeed the one elemental reality, they would approach one another in a better frame of mind. The common recognition of the principle would in itself be a unifying force of great value, and would dispose those who shared it to approach questions of difference in a spirit of unity which would immensely assist their deliberations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So shall you hear Of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts,  Of accidental judgments, casual slaughters,   Of deaths ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14172]]></link><description><![CDATA[So shall you hear Of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts,  Of accidental judgments, casual slaughters,   Of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause,    And, in this upshot, purposes mistook     Fall'n on th' inventors' heads.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chastity is the cement of civilization and progress.
