Its complete bondage to nature has enclosed the mind and spirit of man in a fast prison out of which, try as he may, he can find no way of escape. The inability to perceive any longer the reality of things invisible and unseen is a sickness of the soul which cries out to be cured. The only way to dispel the darkness of the present age and liberate it from the prison within which it has become bound is to restore the proper relationship of nature to supernature and of time to eternity as an essential feature of external reality. Until this can be accomplished, there is really very little that the Church or Christianity in general has to offer to this age.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your strength is small, don't carry heavy burdens.

It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it. [Lat., Maximum ornamentum amicitiae tollit, qui ex ea ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42902]]></link><description><![CDATA[He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it. [Lat., Maximum ornamentum amicitiae tollit, qui ex ea tollit verecudiam.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The noble Lord (Stanley) was the Prince Rupert to the Parliamentary army--his valour did not always serve his own cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3045]]></link><description><![CDATA[The noble Lord (Stanley) was the Prince Rupert to the Parliamentary army--his valour did not always serve his own cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25207]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dawn is overcast, the morning lowers, And heavily in clouds brings on the day,  The great, the important ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15370]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dawn is overcast, the morning lowers, And heavily in clouds brings on the day,  The great, the important day, big with the fate   Of Cato, and of Rome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cobbler, . . . produced several new grins of his own invention, having been used to cut faces for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56200]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cobbler, . . . produced several new grins of his own invention, having been used to cut faces for many years together over his last.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come the three corners of the world in arms, And we shall shock them.
