Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime,  And, departing, leave us behind  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime,  And, departing, leave us behind   Footprints on the sands of time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I mark my hours by shadow; Mayest thou mark thine  By sunshine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58314]]></link><description><![CDATA[I mark my hours by shadow; Mayest thou mark thine  By sunshine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow?  To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1724]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow?  To view each love one blotted from life's page,   And be alone on earth as I am now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rome, Rome, thou art no more As thou hast been!  On thy seven hills of yore   Thou ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rome, Rome, thou art no more As thou hast been!  On thy seven hills of yore   Thou sat'st a queen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Threatned men eat bread, says the Spaniard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Threatned men eat bread, says the Spaniard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Order and simplification are the first steps toward the mastery of a subject.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I finally realized why I am so crazy about women...

The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves. Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of Paul's most important teachings... is the doctrine of what we call "justification by faith".

It frequently appears to the non-Christian mind that this is an immoral or at least unmoral doctrine. Paul appears to be saying that a man is justified before God, not by his goodness or badness, not by his good deeds or bad deeds, but by believing in a certain doctrine of Atonement. Of course, when we come to examine the matter more closely, we can see that there is nothing unmoral in this teaching at all. For if "faith" means using a God-given faculty to apprehend the unseen divine order, and means, moreover, involving oneself in that order by personal commitment, we can at once see how different that is from merely accepting a certain view of Christian redemption... That which man in every religion, every century, every country, was powerless to affect, God has achieved by the devastating humility of His action and suffering in Jesus Christ. Now, accepting such an action as a fait accompli is only possible by this perceptive faculty of "faith". It requires not merely intellectual assent but a shifting of personal trust from the achievements of the self to the completely undeserved action of God. To accept this teaching by mind and heart does, indeed, require a metanoia ["transformation"], a revolution in the outlook of both heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8846]]></link><description><![CDATA[All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If patriotism is, as Dr. Johnson used to remark, the last refuge of the scoundrel, wrapping outdated industry in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15808]]></link><description><![CDATA[If patriotism is, as Dr. Johnson used to remark, the last refuge of the scoundrel, wrapping outdated industry in the mantle of national interest is the last refuge of the economically dispossessed.
