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[One learns to itch where one can scratch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/572]]></link><description><![CDATA[One learns to itch where one can scratch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then know, that I have little wealth to lose. A man I am, crossed with adversity;  My riches are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then know, that I have little wealth to lose. A man I am, crossed with adversity;  My riches are these poor habiliments,   Of which if you should here disfurnish me,    You take the sum and substance that I have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As much as I'm not a huge fan of the band Kiss, I totally appreciate what they did in creating ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32470]]></link><description><![CDATA[As much as I'm not a huge fan of the band Kiss, I totally appreciate what they did in creating a show.

But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes.

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true gentleman is subtly poised between an inner tact and an outer defense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17363]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true gentleman is subtly poised between an inner tact and an outer defense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools make feasts, and wise men eat them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools make feasts, and wise men eat them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13192</guid></item></channel></rss>
