Conviction in the midst of waverers, fiery energy in a world of disillusion, purity in an age of easy morals, firm brotherhood in a loose society, heroic courage in a time of persecution, formed a problem that could not be set aside, however polite society might affect to ignore it: and the religion of the future turned on the answer to it. Would the world be able to explain it better than the Christians, who said it was the living power of the risen Saviour?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people would rather get even instead of get ahead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people would rather get even instead of get ahead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Constant attention wears the active mind, Blots out our pow'rs, and leaves a blank behind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Constant attention wears the active mind, Blots out our pow'rs, and leaves a blank behind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language and forthwith it is something ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language and forthwith it is something entirely different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[... government that "substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11894]]></link><description><![CDATA[... government that "substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5206]]></link><description><![CDATA[A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63606]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm very fond of water: It ever must delight  Each mother's son and daughter,--   When qualified aright. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61296]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm very fond of water: It ever must delight  Each mother's son and daughter,--   When qualified aright.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I design for real people.

Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.
