Nor can any nation survive, or re-establish lasting peace, if it rests on those foundations on which contemporary nations have been built, our own included. What are those crumbling foundations? Conceit, self-will, denial of discipline, self-expressionism, secularism, this worldliness, greed, entrenched privilege, defiance of God's desire. On base absurdities have we built. Have we now moral courage to face our common sin, or are we content to trust in one form of armed wickedness to overcome the evils of another form of the same mad folly? Merely by smashing our enemies we shall not remake the world. By Beelzebub no devils are cast out...

For a long time the Farmer, brandishing an empty sling, chased them away by the terror he inspired; but when the birds found that the sling was only swung in the air, they ceased to take any notice of it and would not move. The Farmer, on seeing this, charged his sling with stones, and killed a great number. The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43720]]></link><description><![CDATA[By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comment is free but facts are sacred. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14880]]></link><description><![CDATA[Comment is free but facts are sacred.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mystery magnifies danger, as the fog does the sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mystery magnifies danger, as the fog does the sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In many ways, we're just the friendly neighbor next door lending a hand to someone whose own friendly neighbors are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40758]]></link><description><![CDATA[In many ways, we're just the friendly neighbor next door lending a hand to someone whose own friendly neighbors are too far away to help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. . .

This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pain makes man think.

The Colloquies of Erasmus July 13, 1999  Do right, and God's recompense to you will be the power of doing more right. Give, and God's reward to you will be the spirit of giving more: a blessed spirit, for it is the Spirit of God Himself, whose Life is the blessedness of giving.
