For one thing, it implies that we have no spiritual ambition, else we should not be satisfied with such poor lives; that we cannot have thought out the fact of Jesus Christ, and how immeasurably He has raised the standard. Will you hang your wretched daubs beside the works of Titian and Michelangelo and not be shamed by the enormous contrast -- stand back and say, with a satisfied smirk, "That is pretty good, you know!"?

Rather does he create Him in the image of his cravings and dreams- in the image of what man wants to be. God making could be part of the process by which a society realizes its aspirations: it first embodies them in the conception of a particular God, and then proceeds to imitate that God. The confidence requisite for attempting the unprecedented is most effectively generated by the fiction that in realizing the new we are imitating rather than originating. Our preoccupation with heaven can be part of an effort to find precedents for the unprecedented.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people who have really made history are the martyrs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53690]]></link><description><![CDATA[The people who have really made history are the martyrs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You wait a moment to settle your nerves Then make your cast with a right hand curve  The fly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16285]]></link><description><![CDATA[You wait a moment to settle your nerves Then make your cast with a right hand curve  The fly settles down and the float looked good   But the trout refused it and there you stood    A dejected fly fisherman.     You looked things over and were not yet beat      Then changed flies again and were ready to repeat       The next try was poor because you rushed the cast        You hold your breath in solemn anticipation         You must be a fly fisherman!          The fly floats gently on its way to the trout           You know it will "take it" without a doubt.            You're all charged up and ready to strike             But the fly floats by because something's not right              You are still a fly fisherman.               You open your fly box and select a new fly                Then lengthen the tippet before the next try                 Change your position to help with the cast                  And hope you have made the right decision at last                   Now you are a doubtful fly fisherman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hers was one of the first applications we accepted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hers was one of the first applications we accepted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is nearly 100% of the ministry's procurement budget that has gone [missing], ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28942]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is nearly 100% of the ministry's procurement budget that has gone [missing],]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity deprives us of our judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity deprives us of our judgment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch ofbastards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love your enemies just in case your friends turn out to be a bunch ofbastards.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need to go out and find that match, and we've gotten some support from various foundations and endowments so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37547]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need to go out and find that match, and we've gotten some support from various foundations and endowments so far, but we have a long row to hoe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fear of death follows from the fear of life.
