Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whoever is deceived thereby is not wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whoever is deceived thereby is not wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek simplicity, and distrust it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek simplicity, and distrust it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaos is inherent in all compounded things.

You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is; when we treat him as if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47859]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we treat man as he is, we make him worse than he is; when we treat him as if he already were what he potentially could be, we make him what he should be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words are the leaves of the tree of language, of which, if some fall away, a new succession takes their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words are the leaves of the tree of language, of which, if some fall away, a new succession takes their place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The lines that most pleased Anderson as composer are in the second verse:] Show the rainbow of your promise/There will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32437]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The lines that most pleased Anderson as composer are in the second verse:] Show the rainbow of your promise/There will be a brighter day. ...
