Over the past few days, the Iraqi soldiers have told the Marines what the imams have blasted over loudspeakersÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã‚Â°calls to rise up and attack the Americans.

But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945  It may be possible for each of us to think too much ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945  It may be possible for each of us to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbour. The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fast-anchor'd isle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23081]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fast-anchor'd isle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That really stuck in my head.

And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These firms are still in foot-in-the-door mode.

Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When shall we find his equal? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50388]]></link><description><![CDATA[When shall we find his equal?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11785]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who asks questions, cannot avoid the answers ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52740]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who asks questions, cannot avoid the answers]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[At Bacchus, which has 140 seats in its main dining room,] the booths and the corners are the most requested ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31381]]></link><description><![CDATA[[At Bacchus, which has 140 seats in its main dining room,] the booths and the corners are the most requested tables, ...
