Faith gives stability to our view of the universe. By faith we are convinced that our impressions of things without are not dreams or delusions, but, for us, true representations of our environment. By faith we are convinced that the signs of permanence, order, progress, which we observe in nature are true.

Forgiveness is God's idea, God's desire; and it is He who appoints both the Judge and the Counsel for the Defense. It was He who inaugurated the priestly work, that men might receive His cleansing and turn to the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. God has provided for himself a Lamb. It is He who sends His Son to be our Elder Brother, and to incorporate us as adopted sons into the circle of His Fatherly love. So then it is the voice of His beloved Son which is most clearly heard by the Father in heaven. In that voice of intercession, all the voices of intercession are contained and heard. The Son is talking to the Father about us, and what He says is not Please but Yes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Must a government of necessity be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Must a government of necessity be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man of science is a poor philosopher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46480]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man of science is a poor philosopher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man must get a thing before he can forget it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16472]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man must get a thing before he can forget it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sort of dependence that results from exchange, i.e., from commercial transactions, is a reciprocal dependence.
