We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth!

Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Divine Wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7760]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Divine Wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth, but as a means whereby we learn to do without them; not as a means whereby we escape evil, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I may have faults, but being wrong ain't one of them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44295]]></link><description><![CDATA[I may have faults, but being wrong ain't one of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The order of the world is always right -- such is the judgment of God.
