To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But to me the actual sound of the words is all important; I feel always that the words complete the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44925]]></link><description><![CDATA[But to me the actual sound of the words is all important; I feel always that the words complete the music and must never be swallowed up in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gaily! gaily! close our ranks! Arm!

He is your ally. He is our ally, be he at the other end of the world. Love all living things whose humble task is not opposed in any way to yours, to ours: men with simple hearts, honest, without vanity and malice, and all the animals, because they are beautiful, without exception and without exception indifferent to whatever "idea" there may be. Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She relied hardly at all on spontaneous foot traffic coming through the door.

Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29755]]></link><description><![CDATA[The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[an unbalanced emotion poised between fear and love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42430]]></link><description><![CDATA[an unbalanced emotion poised between fear and love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24977]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Example is not the main thing in influencing others.

In my view, that means to speak on the one hand metaphysically, and on the other individualistically. Neither of these is relevant to the Bible message or to the man of today. Is it not true to say that individualistic concern for personal salvation has almost completely left us all? Are we not really under the impression that there are more important things than bothering about such a matter? (Perhaps not more important than the matter itself, but more than bothering about it). I know it sounds pretty monstrous to say that. But is it not, at bottom, even Biblical?... It is not with the next world that we are concerned, but with this world as created and preserved and set subject to laws and atoned for and made new. What is above the world is, in the Gospel, intended to exist for this world -- I mean that not in the anthropocentric sense of liberal, pietistic, ethical theology, but in the Bible sense of the creation and of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like many American kids, he wants to stay in America.
