Secretly we are ourselves the masters in this relationship. We are not concerned with God, but with our own requirements, to which God must adjust Himself. Our arrogance demands that, in addition to everything else, some super-world should also be known and accessible to us. Our conduct calls for some deeper sanction, some approbation and remuneration from another world. Our well-regulated, pleasurable life longs for some hours of devotion, some prolongation into infinity. And so, when we set God upon the throne of the world, we mean by God ourselves. In "believing" on Him, we justify, enjoy, and adore ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In arguing one should meet serious pleading with humor, and humor with serious pleading. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3053]]></link><description><![CDATA[In arguing one should meet serious pleading with humor, and humor with serious pleading.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boys flying kites haul in their white winged birds; You can't do that way when you're flying words.  "Careful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boys flying kites haul in their white winged birds; You can't do that way when you're flying words.  "Careful with fire," is good advice we know   "Careful with words," is ten times doubly so.    Thoughts unexpressed may sometimes fall back dead;     But God Himself can't kill them when they're said.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The major components of inflation for us are energy costs and housing costs and medical costs, and I don't see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34728]]></link><description><![CDATA[The major components of inflation for us are energy costs and housing costs and medical costs, and I don't see any major break in any of these.

The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Donors must respond now if we are going to avert a humanitarian catastrophe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Donors must respond now if we are going to avert a humanitarian catastrophe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All war represents a failure of diplomacy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12310]]></link><description><![CDATA[All war represents a failure of diplomacy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften. [Lat., Nullus dolor est quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18328]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften. [Lat., Nullus dolor est quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ac molliat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted.
