It blends into the scenery. Many people assume that we live in a "Christian society". Obviously, the Christian church has no strong witness against society. In [a communist country], the situation is exactly the opposite. Christians there live under a political regime which makes a point of distinguishing itself from all religion, and which is grounded philosophically on atheism and materialism. The Church lives in a hostile social order. The result is that the weak Christians are weeded out, and the strong Christians are tremendously strengthened by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good history covers not only what was done, but the thought that went into the action.

In forgetfulness, not indulgence, of the self. In escape from sensual appetites, not in their satisfaction We live in a dark, self-enclosed prison, which is all we see or know if our glance is fixed ever downward. To lift it upward, becoming aware of the wide, luminous universe outside -- this alone is happiness. At its highest level, such happiness is the ecstasy that mystics have inadequately described At more humdrum levels, it is human love; the delights and beauties of our dear earth, its colors and shapes and sounds; the enchantment of understanding and laughing, and all other exercise of such faculties as we possess; the marvel of the meaning of everything, fitfully glimpsed, inadequately expounded, but ever present.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I almost die for food, and let me have it! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13257]]></link><description><![CDATA[I almost die for food, and let me have it!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was good to get them under our belt.
