Life is a process of becoming, and the moment of death is the transition from one life to another. Thus it is possible for a Christian to succumb to his own kind of death-wish, to seek that extreme of other-worldliness to which the faith has always been liable, especially in periods of stress and uncertainty. There may appear a marked preoccupation with death and a rejection of all temporal things. To say that this world is in a fallen state and that not too much value must be set upon it, is very far from the Manichaean error of supposing it to be evil throughout. The Christian hope finds ambivalence in death: that which destroys, also redeems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23281]]></link><description><![CDATA[All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater.

It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are raised on high that they may be dashed to pieces with a greater fall. [Lat., Tolluntur in altum ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15386]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are raised on high that they may be dashed to pieces with a greater fall. [Lat., Tolluntur in altum  Ut lapsu gaviore ruant.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15072]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Orleans is the soul of the country.

There are Asian, West Indian, and Anglo-Saxon congregations worshiping and meeting close to each other. These groups meet at work and in school, but not always in church. If the church is middle-class and intellectual in the language of the services, in the music employed, in the life-style expected of Christians, in its leadership, and in the methods of presenting the gospel, then the whole atmosphere is such as to repel those who are not middle-class and intellectual. They feel out of place and unwanted, even if they are given a friendly greeting at the door. The life of the New Testament Church was evidence of the supernatural; God was in their midst. The power of Christ was a reality. The fellowship could not be explained in simple natural terms. A church divided on social and racial lines is not evidence for the supernatural, but for the simply human and social.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such crimes has superstition caused. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such crimes has superstition caused.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is only a human invention.
