That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Farmer and the CranesSome cranes made their feeding grounds on some plowlands newly sown with wheat.

For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No steps backward. [Lat., Vestigia nulla retrorsum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2327]]></link><description><![CDATA[No steps backward. [Lat., Vestigia nulla retrorsum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou wilt never be spiritually minded and godly unless thou art silent concerning other men's matters and take full heed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou wilt never be spiritually minded and godly unless thou art silent concerning other men's matters and take full heed to thyself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very tragic.
