That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This was our season tonight.

He was neither wrathful, cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and gentle as a king could be. During his reign he made a royal proclamation for a general assembly of all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in which the Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid, the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare, should live together in perfect peace and amity. The Hare said, Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place with impunity by the side of the strong. And after the Hare said this, he ran for his life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Relativity applies to physics, not ethics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Relativity applies to physics, not ethics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Perpetua, Felicity & their Companions, Martyrs at Carthage, 203   The term "baptism in (or of) the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Perpetua, Felicity & their Companions, Martyrs at Carthage, 203   The term "baptism in (or of) the Spirit" conjures up the idea of a separate initiatory experience which every Christian ought to enjoy, whereas evangelicalism is noted for its stress upon a "conversion" experience which marks the beginning of the believer's relationship to his Lord. Too often, alas, conversion has been the end as well as the beginning, with the result that some Christians have looked back, with mingled delight and wistfulness to a past event that now seems to have diminished relevance to daily living. We can fully understand, then, the appeal of a movement which promises a new dimension of Christian living, there in the New Testament, and now available in everyday experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poets are all who love,--who feel great truths, And tell them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poets are all who love,--who feel great truths, And tell them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the contrary, Subhuti, those Bodhisattvas who, when these words of the sutra are being taught, will find even one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4957]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the contrary, Subhuti, those Bodhisattvas who, when these words of the sutra are being taught, will find even one single thought of serene faith, will be such as have honoured many hundreds of thousands of Buddhas, such as have planted their roots]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only point in making money is, you can tell some big shot where to go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15980]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only point in making money is, you can tell some big shot where to go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be gentle to all and stern with yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Amongst good men two men suffice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Amongst good men two men suffice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the media that won't move on, ...

They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. -As You Like It. Act ii. Sc. 7.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are twice armed if we fight with faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15026]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are twice armed if we fight with faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are going well and we want to continue like that.
