Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why not be silent, patient, and watchful like a photographer? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why not be silent, patient, and watchful like a photographer?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14323]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sop to Cerebus. If I can find Cerebus a sop, I shall be at rest for one day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sop to Cerebus. If I can find Cerebus a sop, I shall be at rest for one day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64502]]></link><description><![CDATA[We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The giving of love is an education in itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63403]]></link><description><![CDATA[The giving of love is an education in itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We pity in others only those evils which we have ourselves experienced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46626]]></link><description><![CDATA[We pity in others only those evils which we have ourselves experienced.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't know where you're going, any road'll take you there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65675]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't know where you're going, any road'll take you there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17582]]></link><description><![CDATA[The glowworm shows the matin to be near And gins to pale his uneffectual fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love Dennis.
