To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48456]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to predict the future is to invent it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that hath a wife and children wants not businesse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that hath a wife and children wants not businesse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It can only help the bottom line of a football club which is a business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41693]]></link><description><![CDATA[It can only help the bottom line of a football club which is a business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was never at the level Buchanan was at.

The prophets were men called by God to serve as His messengers to a stubborn and unheeding people. They were always careful to point out that they were not voicing their own wisdom. Their warnings, entreaties, and promises were always prefaced by the awesome proclamation: "Thus says the Lord..." When the prophets did engage in prognostication, they usually were concerned with events which were fairly close at hand, such as the Assyrian conquest of Israel and the Babylonian conquest of Judah (both of which they foretold with deadly accuracy). But occasionally a prophet's vision ranged farther into the future, to the day when God would enter into a new covenant with his rebellious children. The hope of reconciliation was often linked with the coming of a very particular person, a Messiah or Savior.  What made the prophets so sure that they had a right--nay, a duty, to speak in the name of God? It is clear from their writings that they were not megalomaniacs who confused their own thoughts with the voice of God. On the contrary, they were humble men, awe-stricken by the responsibilities thrust upon them... The prophets minced no words in their indictments of the sins of Israel and Judah, and they trod especially hard on the toes of the rich, the powerful, and the pious. The Establishment responded then as some church members are wont to respond now when a preacher speaks out on controversial public issues: "One should not preach of such things!" (Micah 2:6).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It wasn't long before people discovered the final horrors of letting an urchin into Parliament. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45543]]></link><description><![CDATA[It wasn't long before people discovered the final horrors of letting an urchin into Parliament.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Egad, I think the interpreter is the hardest to be understood of the two! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Egad, I think the interpreter is the hardest to be understood of the two!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reason and judgment are the qualities of a leader.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I slapped him in the mouth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36314]]></link><description><![CDATA[I slapped him in the mouth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54365]]></link><description><![CDATA[How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom...refer[s] to a social relationship among people- namely, the absence of force as a prospective instrument of decision making.

Now, once again may I ask you the question, Is the Church cruel when she points this out, and demands that men should see it and take account of it in all the arrangements of this life? Surely the cruelty lies with those who talk glibly about the brotherhood of man, and superficially about peace, and romantically about marriage, as though the disturbances in Church and state and family were introduced into human life by a few evil-minded men. This is the real cruelty. How will you face up later to your married life, to your administration of affairs, to your life in the Church, in fact to any real part of your lives, if you are taught to think that your neighbour will or ought to agree with you in all points, will accept your solutions of his problems, will in fact be a reflection of your image? Once we get this stuff and nonsense into our heads, we shall never be able to live with anyone or with any group of men. We shall sulk when we are crossed, or run away from the Other -- for Other they are. We shall certainly remove ourselves from the Church when we find it full of friction and yet proclaiming the love of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difficult years lie ahead, patience is required. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Difficult years lie ahead, patience is required.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66503</guid></item></channel></rss>
