That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temp'rate in every place--abroad, at home, Thence will applause, and hence will profit come;  And health from either--he in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58870]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temp'rate in every place--abroad, at home, Thence will applause, and hence will profit come;  And health from either--he in time prepares   For sickness, age, and their attendant cares.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I esteem death a trifle, if not caused by guilt. [Lat., Dum ne ob male facta peream, parvi aestimo.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18472]]></link><description><![CDATA[I esteem death a trifle, if not caused by guilt. [Lat., Dum ne ob male facta peream, parvi aestimo.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66521]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He would not want FBI agents crawling through his papers unrestricted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39970]]></link><description><![CDATA[He would not want FBI agents crawling through his papers unrestricted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire. - Journal, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25486]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire. - Journal, December, 1900.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Please provide the date of your death. (From An IRS Letter) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Please provide the date of your death. (From An IRS Letter)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real presence of Christ's most precious Body and Blood is not to be sought for in the Sacrament, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6181]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real presence of Christ's most precious Body and Blood is not to be sought for in the Sacrament, but in the worthy receiver of the Sacrament.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I do good, I feel good.
