It is almost as offensive to modern man, brought up in the atmosphere of relativism, in which tolerance is regarded almost as the highest of the virtues. But we must not suppose that this claim to universal validity is something that can quietly be removed from the Gospel without changing it into something entirely different from what it is... Jesus' life, his method, and his message do not make sense, unless they are interpreted in the light of his own conviction that he was in fact the final and decisive word of God to men... For the human sickness there is one specific remedy, and this is it. There is no other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had Cleopatra's nose been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been different. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had Cleopatra's nose been shorter, the whole face of the world would have been different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beliefs are dangerous.

They become responsive to grandiose schemes, and will display unequaled steadfastness, formidable energies and a special fitness in the performance of tasks which would stump superior people. It seems paradoxical that defeat in dealing with the possible should embolden people to attempt the impossible, but a familiarity with the mentality of the weak reveals that what seems a path of daring is actually an easy way out: It is to escape the responsibility for failure that the weak so eagerly throw themselves into grandiose undertakings. For when we fail in attaining the impossible we are justified in attributing it to the magnitude of the task.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mural was going through some tough times and the Art Guild actually thought about just letting it go.

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[Blame where you must, be candid where you can, And be each critic the Good-natured Man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blame where you must, be candid where you can, And be each critic the Good-natured Man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All God wants of man is a peaceful heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22450]]></link><description><![CDATA[All God wants of man is a peaceful heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit.
