Christianity fails because people will keep on the surface too much, they will not go down to face these deep inner obediences; and that is ultimately to be beaten by themselves. We talk big and play so small. And the world has found it out --the great bulk have discarded Christianity as the way of Hope and put their hope in other things.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  September 26, 1998  Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Even those of us who are inside it will agree that, in the main, the Church and all for which it stands occupy a palpably smaller place in the life of the average member than it did in former days. We explain it on the ground that life has become fuller, and that, of necessity, our attention nowadays has to percolate over a wide area instead of rushing foam-flecked down a narrower channel -- which is to say, in other words, that Christ is getting lost to us in the crush and throng of things, does not loom up as arresting, as unique, as all-important, as He did to our forefathers. Yet that, when you come to think of it, is no bad definition of unspirituality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of the indirect approach can only be mastered, and its full scope appreciated, by study of and reflection ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47262]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of the indirect approach can only be mastered, and its full scope appreciated, by study of and reflection upon the whole history of war. But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10820]]></link><description><![CDATA[No culture can live, if it attempts to be exclusive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A merry monarch, scandalous and poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54530]]></link><description><![CDATA[A merry monarch, scandalous and poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You guys line up alphabetically by height. (a Florida State football coach) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57557]]></link><description><![CDATA[You guys line up alphabetically by height. (a Florida State football coach)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883  When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883  When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes of God looking in, heaven has begun right here on this earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Values are not just words, values are what we live by.
