It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Condition, circumstance, is not the thing; Bliss is the same in subject or in king. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Condition, circumstance, is not the thing; Bliss is the same in subject or in king.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A 'C' effort at best.

Our danger lies in resisting Him; so it is essential that we acquire the habit of hearkening to His voice, or keeping silence within, and listening so as to lose nothing of what He says to us. We know well enough how to keep outward silence, and to hush our spoken words, but we know little of interior silence. It consists in hushing our idle, restless, wandering imagination, in quieting the promptings of our worldly minds, and in suppressing the crowd of unprofitable thoughts which excite and disturb the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When an individual is protesting society's refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12270]]></link><description><![CDATA[When an individual is protesting society's refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest confers dignity on him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A coalition of groups is waging a massive propaganda campaign against the president of the United States. an all-out attack. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48420]]></link><description><![CDATA[A coalition of groups is waging a massive propaganda campaign against the president of the United States. an all-out attack.
