Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 9-hole is my most favorite position in the lineup.

And if we are set upon the pursuit of God, He will sooner or later bring us to this test. Abraham's testing was, at the time, not known to him as such, yet if he had taken some course other than the one he did, the whole history off the Old Testament would have been different. God would have found His man, no doubt, but the loss to Abraham would have been tragic beyond the telling. So we will be brought one by one to the testing place, and we may never know when we are there. At that testing place there will be no dozen possible choices for us; just one and an alternative, but our whole future will be conditioned by the choice we make.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn on how little man may live, and how small a portion nature requires. [Lat., Discite quam parvo liceat producere ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn on how little man may live, and how small a portion nature requires. [Lat., Discite quam parvo liceat producere vitam,  Et quantum natura petat.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The public is the only critic whose opinion is worth anything at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10767]]></link><description><![CDATA[The public is the only critic whose opinion is worth anything at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Informal relationships are not mere minor interstitial supplements to the major institutions of society.

Rather does he create Him in the image of his cravings and dreams- in the image of what man wants to be. God making could be part of the process by which a society realizes its aspirations: it first embodies them in the conception of a particular God, and then proceeds to imitate that God. The confidence requisite for attempting the unprecedented is most effectively generated by the fiction that in realizing the new we are imitating rather than originating. Our preoccupation with heaven can be part of an effort to find precedents for the unprecedented.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52332</guid></item></channel></rss>
