You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16204]]></link><description><![CDATA[The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is more profitable for your congressman to support the tobacco industry than your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48343]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is more profitable for your congressman to support the tobacco industry than your life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of congress; but I repeat myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of congress; but I repeat myself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We see it as a trusted traveler program. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29340]]></link><description><![CDATA[We see it as a trusted traveler program.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Third act of the eternal play! In poster-like emblazonries  "Autumn once more begins today"--   'Tis written all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Third act of the eternal play! In poster-like emblazonries  "Autumn once more begins today"--   'Tis written all across the trees    In yellow like Chinese.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness.

That phrase represents Paul's "ecclesia of God". It is a community of loving persons, who bear one another's burdens, who seek to build up one another in love, who "have the same thoughts in relation to one another that they have in their communion with Christ". It is all this because it is the living embodiment of Christ's own Spirit. This is a high and mystical doctrine, but a doctrine which has no meaning apart from loving fellowship in real life. A company of people who celebrate a solemn sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood, and all the time are moved by selfish passions -- rivalry, competition, mutual contempt -- is not for Paul a Church or Divine Commonwealth at all, no matter how lofty their faith or how deep their mystical experience; for all these things may "puff up"; love alone "builds up". In the very act, therefore, of attaining its liberty to exist, the Divine Commonwealth has transcended the great divisions of men. In principle, it has transcended them all, and by seriously living out that which its association means, it is on the way to comprehending the whole race. Short of that its development can never stop. This is the revealing of the sons of God for which the whole creation is waiting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that passeth a winters day escapes an enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49384]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that passeth a winters day escapes an enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24225]]></link><description><![CDATA[The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those that God loves, do not live long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49971]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those that God loves, do not live long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human being who lives only for himself finally reaps nothing but unhappiness.

And Saint Paul, speaking of those that die with Christ, that they may live no longer to themselves, but to Him that died for them, does not mean this of monks only, but of Christians universally.  ... The Colloquies of Erasmus July 13, 1999  Do right, and God's recompense to you will be the power of doing more right. Give, and God's reward to you will be the spirit of giving more: a blessed spirit, for it is the Spirit of God Himself, whose Life is the blessedness of giving. Love, and God will pay you with the capacity of more love; for love is Heaven: love is God within you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8372</guid></item></channel></rss>
