It is almost as offensive to modern man, brought up in the atmosphere of relativism, in which tolerance is regarded almost as the highest of the virtues. But we must not suppose that this claim to universal validity is something that can quietly be removed from the Gospel without changing it into something entirely different from what it is... Jesus' life, his method, and his message do not make sense, unless they are interpreted in the light of his own conviction that he was in fact the final and decisive word of God to men... For the human sickness there is one specific remedy, and this is it. There is no other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess one of the reasons I'm doing the Poe piece is that I think Poe demonstrates that no matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38795]]></link><description><![CDATA[I guess one of the reasons I'm doing the Poe piece is that I think Poe demonstrates that no matter how difficult things are, if you continue to move forward in life, you can eventually become victorious, even if it's later in life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I have learned a thing or two; I know as sure as fate, When we lock up our lives ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61378]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I have learned a thing or two; I know as sure as fate, When we lock up our lives for wealth, the gold key comes too late.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ignorance and superstition ever bear a close and mathematical relation to each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52065]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ignorance and superstition ever bear a close and mathematical relation to each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That to live by one man's will became the cause of all men's misery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42761]]></link><description><![CDATA[That to live by one man's will became the cause of all men's misery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  The great danger facing all of us... is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  The great danger facing all of us... is not that we shall make an absolute failure of life, nor that we shall fall into outright viciousness, nor that we shall be terribly unhappy, nor that we shall feel [that] life has no meaning at all -- not these things. The danger is that we may fail to perceive life's greatest meaning, fall short of its highest good, miss its deepest and most abiding happiness, be unable to tender the most needed service, be unconscious of life ablaze with the light of the Presence of God -- and be content to have it so -- that is the danger: that some day we may wake up and find that always we have been busy with husks and trappings of life and have really missed life itself. For life without God, to one who has known the richness and joy of life with Him, is unthinkable, impossible. That is what one prays one's friends may be spared -- satisfaction with a life that falls short of the best, that has in it no tingle or thrill that comes from a friendship with the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When every one is in the wrong, every one is in the right. [Fr., Quand tout le monte a tort, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14162]]></link><description><![CDATA[When every one is in the wrong, every one is in the right. [Fr., Quand tout le monte a tort, tout le monde a raison.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boldness be my friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boldness be my friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He rams his quill with scandal and with scoff, But 'tis so very foul, it won't go off. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54752]]></link><description><![CDATA[He rams his quill with scandal and with scoff, But 'tis so very foul, it won't go off.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In jealousy there is more of self-love than love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23180]]></link><description><![CDATA[In jealousy there is more of self-love than love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pressure is Iran and oil, and a correction in Apple's stock, but it's resilient in the face of that. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37900]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pressure is Iran and oil, and a correction in Apple's stock, but it's resilient in the face of that.

It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here beauty hangs upon the cheek of night, Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here beauty hangs upon the cheek of night, Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't come up and tackle, ...
