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[Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fatigue is the best pillow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fatigue is the best pillow]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something has gone wrong with taking this young man out of the Dominican Republic.

First, he gets to preview various animation themes. He chooses his favorite and takes a holographic RFID badge with a Philips ICODE chip. When he goes into the examination room, he waves the badge at the scanning equipment, and the walls and ceiling come to life with animations, accompanied by music and other sounds. It keeps him relaxed and it's a great way to give him instructions. When it's time for him to hold his breath, he sees a cartoon character holding his own breath!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh my debt of praise, how weighty is it, and how far run up!

There are siren voices (as well as gut reactions) telling Christians that the way to success in evangelism is to follow the natural divisions, and to try to build churches along cultural, social and racial divisions. In doing so, they ignore the "success" in the New Testament in crossing these lines; more importantly, they are in fact stressing success more highly than the truth of the gospel. To buy success at the price of treating the fundamental nature of the gospel as dispensable is to follow a false gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People do not lack strength; they lack will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61626]]></link><description><![CDATA[People do not lack strength; they lack will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26141]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A clean tie attracts the soup of the day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24337]]></link><description><![CDATA[A clean tie attracts the soup of the day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science, at bottom, is really anti-intellectual.
