You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In some awful, strange, paradoxical way, atheists tend to take religion more seriously than the practitioners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3414]]></link><description><![CDATA[In some awful, strange, paradoxical way, atheists tend to take religion more seriously than the practitioners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles   Life together under the Word will remain sound and healthy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8602]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles   Life together under the Word will remain sound and healthy only where it does not form itself into a movement, an order, a society... but rather where it understands itself as being a part of the one, holy, catholic, Christian Church, where it shares actively and passively in the sufferings and struggles of the whole Church. Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is his own worst enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is his own worst enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Another May new buds and flowers shall bring: Ah! why has happiness no second Spring? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26623]]></link><description><![CDATA[Another May new buds and flowers shall bring: Ah! why has happiness no second Spring?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you don't like ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you don't like]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never seen a reaction like that, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29745]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've never seen a reaction like that,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is too thin a screen; the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature is too thin a screen; the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll have to raise our game to a whole new level.

The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advice is seldom welcome, and those who need it the most, like it the least. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advice is seldom welcome, and those who need it the most, like it the least.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone wants to be Cary Grant.

The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How do you produce the right people in the right volumes with the right skills in the right place at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33155]]></link><description><![CDATA[How do you produce the right people in the right volumes with the right skills in the right place at the right time?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one will ever win the battle of the sexes; there's too much fraternizing with the enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55285]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one will ever win the battle of the sexes; there's too much fraternizing with the enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the age of 20, we don't care what the world thinks of us; at 30, we worry about what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62923]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the age of 20, we don't care what the world thinks of us; at 30, we worry about what it is thinking of us; at 40, we discover that it wasn't thinking of us at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Order gave each thing view. -King Henry VIII.
