I think that the Catholic Church ought to have maintained and used ecclesiastical and sacerdotal authority, but that its maintenance and its use ought to have been accompanied with a continual fear. Because they had before them this fact, that however divinely authoritative, however securely resting on a basis of legitimate and genuine inspiration, yet the ecclesiastical authority of the Old Covenant, by no process of sudden revolution, but simply by a process of gradual development, was capable of becoming something so utterly alien in spirit from what it was intended to be, that when the Christ came, to prepare for whom and to welcome whom was the one reason for which it existed, it did in fact reject Him utterly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing lasts but the Church. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing lasts but the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a passion for ballad. . . .

Logic is designed to give inevitably true results starting from known true -- or assumed-to-be-true -- premises. Logic is a wonderful tool when we want only logical conclusions. We should not reject such a machine merely because it is not equipped to handle all of reality. The scientist who commits himself to use a logic machine is doing wisely, qua scientist, for use on data of science. But if he feeds into that machine convictions that there is not God, or ignores God because He is not in his corpus of data, and then draws from his logic the conclusion that God does not exist, his conclusion is irrelevant. Logic is a tool; it should not be made into a religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great is the Tailor, but not the greatest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great is the Tailor, but not the greatest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate the man who builds his name on the ruins of another's fame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56565]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate the man who builds his name on the ruins of another's fame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statistics are people with the tears wiped from their eyes ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57863]]></link><description><![CDATA[Statistics are people with the tears wiped from their eyes]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you forget you have to struggle for improvement you go backward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22583]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you forget you have to struggle for improvement you go backward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hear reason, or she'll make you feel her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hear reason, or she'll make you feel her.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last game, and this, we've been eaten up by penalties.
