If that is where it rests, it is an optimism which will suffer ultimate disillusionment. Romanticism will be transmuted into cynicism, as it has always been in the world's history. The faith of a Christian is something quite different from this optimism. It is trust in God, in a good God who created a good world, though the world is not now good; in a good God, powerful and good enough finally to destroy the evil that men do and redeem them of their sins. This kind of faith is not optimism. It does not, in fact, arise until optimism breaks down and men cease to trust in themselves that they are righteous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11081]]></link><description><![CDATA[The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but the one who causes the darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10763]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill.

One side of Christ's work will appeal most to one mind, another to another. The mistake that is often made by those who speak most about Christian experience is that they are so apt to insist upon everyone else's experience -- on penalty of its utter worthlessness -- being exactly the same as their own. The great thing is that we should be attracted by Christ in some way, that we should come to God in that spirit of penitence which Christ taught was the one condition of acceptance with Him, and with that steady purpose of amendment which is, as he always taught, a part of true penitence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The simplest questions are the most profound.

Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find. I think of how they trod the earth, what time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven't time for more. Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and light it with Thy peace; Forgive me all my worrying, and make my grumbling cease. Thou who didst love to give men food, in room or by the sea, Accept this service that I do -- I do it unto Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assassinations has never changed the history of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Assassinations has never changed the history of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Byron is a great person to work with and I look forward to coaching him this season.

Conviction in the midst of waverers, fiery energy in a world of disillusion, purity in an age of easy morals, firm brotherhood in a loose society, heroic courage in a time of persecution, formed a problem that could not be set aside, however polite society might affect to ignore it: and the religion of the future turned on the answer to it.
