But too often, instead of being the radical, standing against the shifting sands of relativism, he subsides into merely maintaing the status quo. If it is true that evil is evil, that God hates it to the point of the cross, and that there is a moral law fixed in what God is in Himself, then Christians should be the first into the field against what is wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Together kneeling, night and day, Thou, for my sake, at Allah's shrine,  And I--at any God's for thine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62316]]></link><description><![CDATA[Together kneeling, night and day, Thou, for my sake, at Allah's shrine,  And I--at any God's for thine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratitude is expensive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gratitude is expensive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morals and manners will rise or decline with our attention to grammar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23996]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morals and manners will rise or decline with our attention to grammar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But O yet more miserable! Myself my sepulchre, a moving grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42764]]></link><description><![CDATA[But O yet more miserable! Myself my sepulchre, a moving grave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6060]]></link><description><![CDATA[God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64929]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Messages can't be intercepted if they aren't sent, can they? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Messages can't be intercepted if they aren't sent, can they?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  The word religion is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  The word religion is extremely rare in the New Testament and the writings of mystics. The reason is simple. Those attitudes and practices to which we give the collective name of religion are themselves concerned with religion hardly at all. To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God. Therefore, almost by definition, a religious man, or a man when he is being religious, is not thinking about religion; he hasn't the time. Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is grace and confidence.

Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know anyone who curses the way they do on the Sopranos.
