The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We pursue that which retreats from us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11982]]></link><description><![CDATA[We pursue that which retreats from us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58181]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who is the happiest of men?

In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945  Faith is the leading grace in all our spiritual warfare and conflict; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7396]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945  Faith is the leading grace in all our spiritual warfare and conflict; but all along, while we live, it hath faithful company that adheres to itand helps it. Love works, and hope works, and all other graces -- self-denial, readiness to the cross -- they all work and help faith. Yet when we come to die, faith is left alone. Now, try what faith will do.
