You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is only skin deep.

This fact ought not to be taken to imply, however, that such an effort is unjustifiable and necessarily useless. The distinctiveness of the Biblical approach is its immediacy. The theistic proofs for God's existence constitute a laborious, painstaking, and patient justification of theism. They attempt to set forth in rational argument what the soul grasps intuitively. But for the Bible, the deepest proof of God's existence is just life itself. The knowledge of God and man's knowledge of himself are closely intertwined. If only God could be written off neatly and cleanly, how simple things would be! But the hound of heaven pads after us all. He does not let us go. There is no escaping him...; when least expected, he closes in. The explanation for this is man's creation in the image of God. His identity is known theologically, in relation to the God who as a man in his true significance cannot survive permanently in isolation from his Maker. Without God, man is the chance product of unthinking fate, and so of little worth. The current loss of identity and the emergence of the faceless man in today's culture are testimony to the effects of losing our God. The knowledge of God is given in the same movement in which we know ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Competition on the market aims at assigning to every individual that function in the social system in which he can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15719]]></link><description><![CDATA[Competition on the market aims at assigning to every individual that function in the social system in which he can render to all his fellow men the most valuable of the services he is able to perform.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2465]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man shall have one vote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61002]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man shall have one vote.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money wants no followers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49632]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money wants no followers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men represent the triumph of mind over morals, whereas women represent the triumph of matter over mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59016]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men represent the triumph of mind over morals, whereas women represent the triumph of matter over mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21867]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We brought the lawsuit because we believe the public has a right to know about the 'no fly' list and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37151]]></link><description><![CDATA[We brought the lawsuit because we believe the public has a right to know about the 'no fly' list and other government watch lists.
