But is it not true that in our hearts we are afraid that the full-orbed, unfiltered revelation of God will disturb some custom, some privilege, some status by which we benefit in society, occupation, or government? And knowing that we are profiting by the blood, sweat, and tears of the many, we feel wrath rising in us whenever it is proposed that religion touches the thing in question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nation is prosperpus on the whole, but how much prosperity is there in a hole? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20840]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nation is prosperpus on the whole, but how much prosperity is there in a hole?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The beasts (Conservatives) had committed suicide to save themselves from slaughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58238]]></link><description><![CDATA[The beasts (Conservatives) had committed suicide to save themselves from slaughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Families with babies and families without are so sorry for each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Families with babies and families without are so sorry for each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with," the Mock Turtle replied, "and the different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13395]]></link><description><![CDATA["Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with," the Mock Turtle replied, "and the different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25877]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To array a man's will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26733]]></link><description><![CDATA[To array a man's will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force.

This is a synthesis of New Testament grace and Old Testament ethics. With this synthesis, Protestants have solved the problem of finding a gracious God, but they have not solved the problem of finding gracious neighbors. They can fellowship with God because he is gracious; but they find it difficult to fellowship with one another, because they are not so gracious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! how easily things go wrong! A sigh too deep, or a kiss too long,  And then comes a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62458]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! how easily things go wrong! A sigh too deep, or a kiss too long,  And then comes a mist and a weeping rain,   And life is never the same again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are what we think.

This is testimony, the apostolic testimony, and this, with the energy of love, is the missionary motive. The insistent task of missionary education and responsibility is to engender this motive throughout the Church, a task that can only be accomplished as men are confronted anew with the message of the Bible and with its supreme and central story, the story of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I get a lot more playing time than I have in the past.

The one only and infallible way to go safely through all the difficulties, trials, temptations, dryness, or opposition of our own evil tempers is this: It is to expect nothing from ourselves, to trust to nothing in ourselves, but in everything to expect and depend upon God for relief. Keep fast hold of this thread, and then let your way be what it will -- darkness, temptation, or the rebellion of nature -- you will be led through it all, to an union with God: for nothing hurts us in any state but an expectation of some thing in it and from it, which we should only expect from God.
