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[You have to assume there will be more deals.

Thy road is ready and thy paths made straight With longing expectations wait The consecration of thy beautious feet. Ride on triumphantly; behold! we lay Our lusts and proud wills in thy way. Hosannah! welcome to our hearts: Lord, here Thou hast a temple too, and full as dear  As that of Sion; and as full of sin -- Nothing but thieves and robbers dwell therein; Enter and chase them forth, and cleanse the floor,  Crucify them, that they may never more Profane that holy place Where thou hast chose to set thy face. And then if our still tongues shall be  Mute in the praises of thy deity, The stones out of the temple wall  Shall cry aloud and call Hosannah! and thy glorious footsteps greet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no aphrodisiac like innocence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20972]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no aphrodisiac like innocence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist, they say, sees a glass of water as being half empty; an optimist sees the same glass as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60951]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist, they say, sees a glass of water as being half empty; an optimist sees the same glass as half full.
