We see that many articulate secularists are well-meaning and law-abiding men; we see them go into righteous indignation over injustice and often devote their lives to good works. So we conclude that "he can't be wrong whose life is in the right" -- that their philosophies are just as good guides to action as Christianity. What we don't see is that they are not acting on their philosophies. They are acting, out of habit or sentiment, on an inherited Christian ethic which they still take for granted though they have rejected the creed from which it sprang. Their children will inherit some what less of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was flesh and blood.

He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57171]]></link><description><![CDATA[So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such fire was not by water to be drowned, nor he his nature changed by changing ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such fire was not by water to be drowned, nor he his nature changed by changing ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Editor: A person employed on a newspaper whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13355]]></link><description><![CDATA[Editor: A person employed on a newspaper whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a little bit of hooker in every woman.
