The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be "received" without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is "saved", but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little. The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sports is the toy department of human life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sports is the toy department of human life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best thing you can do when you've made a mistake is exactly what she's done: Admit it, admit it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31213]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best thing you can do when you've made a mistake is exactly what she's done: Admit it, admit it soon and put yourself at the mercy of the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody makes his path differently. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody makes his path differently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want an honest, sincere and intensive fight against terrorism from Pakistan in cooperation with Afghanistan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40048]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want an honest, sincere and intensive fight against terrorism from Pakistan in cooperation with Afghanistan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For men must work and women must weep, And the sooner it's over the sooner to sleep,  And good-bye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62121]]></link><description><![CDATA[For men must work and women must weep, And the sooner it's over the sooner to sleep,  And good-bye to the bar and its moaning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20554]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A strong nor'wester's blowing, Bill; Hark!
