But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Especially when one of 'em (Jackson) is a guard coach and the other one (Levingston) a big-man coach.

The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our seasons have no fixed returns, Without our will they come and go;  At noon our sudden summer burns, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our seasons have no fixed returns, Without our will they come and go;  At noon our sudden summer burns,   Ere sunset all is snow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of people like snow.

It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled, quick-tempered, or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is one of the strangest and saddest problems of ethics... No form of vice -- not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself -- does more to unChristianize society than evil temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for devastating homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off of childhood -- in short, for sheer, gratuitous misery-producing power -- this influence stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man makes a great fuss about this planet which is only a ballbearing in the hub of the universe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man makes a great fuss about this planet which is only a ballbearing in the hub of the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm an American before any party preference. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41215]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm an American before any party preference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41215</guid></item></channel></rss>
