This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force.

The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48400]]></link><description><![CDATA[A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Relaxation should at times be given to the mind, the better to fit it for toil when resumed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Relaxation should at times be given to the mind, the better to fit it for toil when resumed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists ... in the loved one, perfection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2098]]></link><description><![CDATA[We all suffer from the preoccupation that there exists ... in the loved one, perfection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are words and accents by which this grief can be assuaged, and the disease in a great measure removed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50360]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are words and accents by which this grief can be assuaged, and the disease in a great measure removed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad excuses are worse than none. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad excuses are worse than none.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62781]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is a society without a heroic dimension? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19252]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is a society without a heroic dimension?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Holy Land needs bridges, not walls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10109]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Holy Land needs bridges, not walls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They made up for a very frustrating first half rather quickly.

And hence it is that worse passions, or a worse degree of them are to be found in persons of great religious zeal than in others that made no pretenses to it. History also furnishes us with instances of persons of great piety and devotion who have fallen into great delusions and deceived both themselves and others. The occasion of their fall was this: ... They considered their whole nature as the subject of religion and divine graces; and therefore their religion was according to the workings of their whole nature, and the old man was as busy and as much delighted in it as the new.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very valuable and most precious thing in life is to offer and surrender your life into GOD's purpose ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33434]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very valuable and most precious thing in life is to offer and surrender your life into GOD's purpose]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63437]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63437</guid></item></channel></rss>
