Does he think that in that way he will have straightway persuaded us to have complete confidence in him, to look to him for consolation, for advice, and for help, in the vicissitudes of life? Do such men think that they have delighted us by telling us that they hold our souls to be nothing but a little wind and smoke -- and by saying it in conceited and complacent tones? Is that a thing to say blithely? Is it not rather a thing to say sadly -- as if it were the saddest thing in the world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bear, like the Turk, no brother near the throne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bear, like the Turk, no brother near the throne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The turnover in housing has a strong relationship with remodeling activity.

But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man owes a part of his time and money to the business or industry in which he is engaged. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man owes a part of his time and money to the business or industry in which he is engaged.

The common basis of their life was the conviction that they enjoyed a new relationship with God, for which they were indebted to Jesus. The technical term for this relationship was "covenant", and "covenant" became eventually in their vocabulary "testament". Hence the later name for these writings of the church, when gathered into a sacred collection, was "The New Testament" -- New because the older relationship of God to his people, which had obtained under Judaism, with its Old Testament was superseded by the faith and fellowship which Jesus Christ his Son had inaugurated. It was the consciousness of this that inspired the early Christians to live, and to write about the origin and applications of this new life. They wrote for their own age, without a thought of posterity, and they did not write in unison but in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thanks for your nice little note, though I am sorry to hear you find Through the Looking Glass so uninteresting. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thanks for your nice little note, though I am sorry to hear you find Through the Looking Glass so uninteresting.

"Ye worship ye know not what, but we know what we worship," "that which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled" -- "He suffered under Pontius Pilate."
