S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605  You can also offer your prayers, obedience, and endurance of dryness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7719]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605  You can also offer your prayers, obedience, and endurance of dryness to Our Lord, for the good of other souls, and then you have practiced intercession. Never mind if it all seems for the time very second-hand. The less you get out of it, the nearer it approaches to being something worth offering; and the humiliation of not being able to feel as devout as we want to be, is excellent for most of us. Use vocal prayer... very slowly, trying to realize the meaning with which it is charged and remember that... you are only a unit in the Chorus of the Church, so that the others will make good the shortcomings you cannot help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is mainly an affair of energy, and poetry is mainly an affair of genius; therefore a nation whose spirit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is mainly an affair of energy, and poetry is mainly an affair of genius; therefore a nation whose spirit is characterized by energy may well be imminent in poetry - and we have Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10004]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How often the highest talent lurks in obscurity. [Lat., Ut saepe summa ingenia in occulto latent!] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44767]]></link><description><![CDATA[How often the highest talent lurks in obscurity. [Lat., Ut saepe summa ingenia in occulto latent!]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest qualities of character must be earned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41193]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest qualities of character must be earned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're never a loser until you quit trying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21661]]></link><description><![CDATA[You're never a loser until you quit trying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For cleanness of body was ever esteemed to proceed from a due reverence to God, to society, and to ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8853]]></link><description><![CDATA[For cleanness of body was ever esteemed to proceed from a due reverence to God, to society, and to ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62575]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under normal conditions the research scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under normal conditions the research scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which he concentrates are just those which he believes can be both stated and solved within the existing scientific tradition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How well Horatius kept the bridge In the brave days of old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4861]]></link><description><![CDATA[How well Horatius kept the bridge In the brave days of old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will not find poetry anywhere unless you bring some of it with you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46782]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will not find poetry anywhere unless you bring some of it with you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fool!
