When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None but the lark so shrill and clear; Now at heaven's gate she claps her wings,  The morn not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24095]]></link><description><![CDATA[None but the lark so shrill and clear; Now at heaven's gate she claps her wings,  The morn not waking till she sings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are my lover and I am your mistress and kingdoms and empires and governments have tottered and succumbed before ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25985]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are my lover and I am your mistress and kingdoms and empires and governments have tottered and succumbed before now to that mighty combination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have to be realistic.

Any attempts to hide behind the excuse that it is too difficult, when what we mean is that its word is too hard for us to bear, meets the just remark of a pastor from Communist Germany: "How can they say that the Bible is difficult, when young Communists are poring over much more difficult and much more technical literature to discover what Communism is all about?" Sometimes the Biblical teaching is crystal-clear, but we dare not understand it. The Christian Church has a vested interest in its present forms, and Christian people, like others, have their pleasant prejudices. This unwillingness to hear some new thing, except in times of great disturbance, plays a bigger part in weakening the voice of God through the Bible than we are prepared to admit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6994]]></link><description><![CDATA[That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Govern your temper, which will rule you unless kept in subjection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Govern your temper, which will rule you unless kept in subjection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50233</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[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012   The higher faiths call their followers to strenuous moral effort. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7933]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012   The higher faiths call their followers to strenuous moral effort. 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.

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item></channel></rss>
