That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acquaintance without patience is like a candle with no light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45734]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acquaintance without patience is like a candle with no light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 'Net is a waste of time, and that's exactly what's right about it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9493]]></link><description><![CDATA[The 'Net is a waste of time, and that's exactly what's right about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, stay, sweet warbling woodlark, stay, Nor quit for me the trembling spray,  A hapless lover courts thy lay, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, stay, sweet warbling woodlark, stay, Nor quit for me the trembling spray,  A hapless lover courts thy lay,   Thy soothing, fond complaining.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're doing everything we can to keep him ready for whatever the future brings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40770]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're doing everything we can to keep him ready for whatever the future brings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is true, there are many bad people; there are more of them than in the past, but that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30152]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is true, there are many bad people; there are more of them than in the past, but that is because there are more people, meaning the population has tripled; there must be three times more bad people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We shall meet but we shall miss her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26820]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shall meet but we shall miss her.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great library contains the diary of the human race. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24767]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great library contains the diary of the human race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Impartial observers from other planets would consider ours an utterly bizarre enclave if it were populated by birds, defined as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Impartial observers from other planets would consider ours an utterly bizarre enclave if it were populated by birds, defined as flying animals, that nevertheless rarely or never actually flew.

This makes them self-sufficient, morose, severe judges of all those that fall short of their mortifications. And thus their self-denials do only that for them which indulgences do for other people: they withstand and hinder the operation of God upon their souls, and instead of being really self-denials, they strengthen and keep up the kingdom of self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature made him, and then broke the mold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature made him, and then broke the mold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's tough to compare to anyone, I think, because of not only his success but the longevity of his success. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30469]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's tough to compare to anyone, I think, because of not only his success but the longevity of his success.

The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ...
