Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: 'What!

The New Testament [again, and notoriously, in the person of St Paul] assumes that there will be places other than the bedroom in which men and women assume consciously differentiated roles. They will do so in the affairs of the home, in which the wife is to "submit" to her husband (Eph. 5:22ff) as head. They will do so even outside the context of family life, since man is "head" of woman in some sense; in quite another context, when the Church is at worship (I Cor. 11:2ff). In order that St Paul should not be misjudged, we must note--(a) that this relational ordering of male and female presupposes a fundamental generic equality (I Cor. 11:1 ff); and (b) that the "submission" of the wife is a special case of a "submission" of all Christians to one another, and complements a husband's love that is to be expressed in self-sacrifice (Eph. 5:2lff, 25ff). The apostle is not an apologist for male tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain, With grammar, and nonsense, and learning;  Good liquor, I stoutly maintain,   Gives ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let schoolmasters puzzle their brain, With grammar, and nonsense, and learning;  Good liquor, I stoutly maintain,   Gives genius a better discerning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Football is a mistake.
