The only way to dispel the darkness of the present age and liberate it from the prison within which it has become bound is to restore the proper relationship of nature to supernature and of time to eternity as an essential feature of external reality. Until this can be accomplished, there is really very little that the Church or Christianity in general has to offer to this age.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best hearts ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51950]]></link><description><![CDATA[The prudence of the best heads is often defeated by the tenderness of the best hearts]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God heals and the doctor takes the fee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26749]]></link><description><![CDATA[God heals and the doctor takes the fee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It’s time we framed every question - every issue -- not in terms of what’s in it for ‘me,’ but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12352]]></link><description><![CDATA[It’s time we framed every question - every issue -- not in terms of what’s in it for ‘me,’ but what’s in it for all of us?
