He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations." The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people would rather get even instead of get ahead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people would rather get even instead of get ahead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20121]]></link><description><![CDATA[A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's live with that small pittance which we have; Who covets more is evermore a slave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let's live with that small pittance which we have; Who covets more is evermore a slave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sadness does not inhere in things; it does not reach us from the world and through mere contemplation of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sadness does not inhere in things; it does not reach us from the world and through mere contemplation of the world.

Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When angry, count to four.
