He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit is far more often a shield than a lance ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit is far more often a shield than a lance]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paul's argument in First Corinthians 1:18-25 is equally relevant when we come to ask why men cannot understand the Bible. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Paul's argument in First Corinthians 1:18-25 is equally relevant when we come to ask why men cannot understand the Bible. Any attempts to hide behind the excuse that it is too difficult, when what we mean is that its word is too hard for us to bear, meets the just remark of a pastor from Communist Germany: "How can they say that the Bible is difficult, when young Communists are poring over much more difficult and much more technical literature to discover what Communism is all about?" Sometimes the Biblical teaching is crystal-clear, but we dare not understand it. The Christian Church has a vested interest in its present forms, and Christian people, like others, have their pleasant prejudices. This unwillingness to hear some new thing, except in times of great disturbance, plays a bigger part in weakening the voice of God through the Bible than we are prepared to admit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9752]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have never been lost, but I will admit to being confused for several weeks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This passion, and the death of a dear friend, would go near to make a man look sad. -A Midsummer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55536]]></link><description><![CDATA[This passion, and the death of a dear friend, would go near to make a man look sad. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.
