We are afraid of the jeer about "pie in the sky", and of being told that we are trying to "escape" from the duty of making a happy world here and now, into dreams of a better world elsewhere. But either there is "pie in the sky" or there is not. If there is not, then Christianity is false, for this doctrine is woven into its whole fabric. If there is, then this doctrine, like any other, must be faced, whether it is useful at political meetings or no.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has gone to the demnition bow-wows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15388]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has gone to the demnition bow-wows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is hateful to thyself do not do to another.

Even if we were first to grant the presence of a "Christendom" situation [where] Church and State would be virtually coextensive, the nation of Israel would still remain unique. The focus of salvation is on the historical action of God in forming a people for Himself, and there is no indication anywhere in the Bible that God promises political salvation even inside the context of the full salvation of His people, let alone outside it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failure is an event, never a person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44151]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failure is an event, never a person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British arguments, he has effectively done what the president asked him to do and forgotten that he should be arguing Britain's corner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Method is not less requisite in ordinary conversation than in writing, provided a man would talk to make himself understood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Method is not less requisite in ordinary conversation than in writing, provided a man would talk to make himself understood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has broken the law and I know that he had a problem of abusing, but inside of him he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42025]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has broken the law and I know that he had a problem of abusing, but inside of him he is kind and loving and caring, too, and people who know him well know that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I observed Anthony at the MLS Player Combine and was very impressed with his ability to play smoothly out of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31527]]></link><description><![CDATA[I observed Anthony at the MLS Player Combine and was very impressed with his ability to play smoothly out of the back.

So he automatically writes off any Biblical account of a wondrous happening which suggests that there is an order of reality transcending the observable regularities of nature and occasionally breaking in upon them. Nor is rational skepticism content with jettisoning the Bible's miracle stories. It also dismisses other passages on the grounds that they reflect the ignorance and prejudice of a particular age, or the propaganda interests of the Church at a particular stage of its development. Its basic rule of Biblical interpretation is: "When in doubt, throw it out." And the highest scores in the game of radical reductionism are awarded to pedagogues who find the most novel and far-fetched reasons for doubting that any part of the Bible really means what it says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neglected by Congress below, distressed with the small-pox; want of Generals and discipline in our Army, which may rather be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neglected by Congress below, distressed with the small-pox; want of Generals and discipline in our Army, which may rather be called a great rabble, our credit and reputation lost, and great part of the country; and a powerful foreign enemy advancing upon us, are so many difficulties we cannot surmount them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles   Life together under the Word will remain sound and healthy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8602]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles   Life together under the Word will remain sound and healthy only where it does not form itself into a movement, an order, a society... but rather where it understands itself as being a part of the one, holy, catholic, Christian Church, where it shares actively and passively in the sufferings and struggles of the whole Church. Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is deeper than all speech, Feeling deeper than all thought;  Souls to souls can never teach   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is deeper than all speech, Feeling deeper than all thought;  Souls to souls can never teach   What unto themselves was taught.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...the more original a discovery the more obvious it seems afterwards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52011]]></link><description><![CDATA[...the more original a discovery the more obvious it seems afterwards.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think computer viruses should count as life.
