I think that the Catholic Church ought to have maintained and used ecclesiastical and sacerdotal authority, but that its maintenance and its use ought to have been accompanied with a continual fear. Because they had before them this fact, that however divinely authoritative, however securely resting on a basis of legitimate and genuine inspiration, yet the ecclesiastical authority of the Old Covenant, by no process of sudden revolution, but simply by a process of gradual development, was capable of becoming something so utterly alien in spirit from what it was intended to be, that when the Christ came, to prepare for whom and to welcome whom was the one reason for which it existed, it did in fact reject Him utterly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The active part of man consists of powerful instincts, some of which are gentle and continuous; others violent and short; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22840]]></link><description><![CDATA[The active part of man consists of powerful instincts, some of which are gentle and continuous; others violent and short; some baser, some nobler, and all necessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit.

No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stiff in opinion, always in the wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stiff in opinion, always in the wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll be merry and free, I'll be sad for nae-body;  If nae-body cares for me,   I'll care ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9938]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll be merry and free, I'll be sad for nae-body;  If nae-body cares for me,   I'll care for nae-body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Variety is the spice of life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Variety is the spice of life]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never Explain - your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway. -Elbert Hubbard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never Explain - your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway. -Elbert Hubbard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What then remains, but that we still should cry Not to be born, or being born to die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11170]]></link><description><![CDATA[What then remains, but that we still should cry Not to be born, or being born to die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the most intense mode of invidualism that the world has known. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the most intense mode of invidualism that the world has known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The twilight is sad and cloudy, The wind blows wild and free,  And like the wings of sea-birds  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59925]]></link><description><![CDATA[The twilight is sad and cloudy, The wind blows wild and free,  And like the wings of sea-birds   Flash the white caps of the sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The character came out of rehearsal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40313]]></link><description><![CDATA[The character came out of rehearsal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have enjoyed my time in St. Louis and wish the organization the best of luck in the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39693]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have enjoyed my time in St. Louis and wish the organization the best of luck in the future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17904]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is the soul's consciousness of its Divine relationship and exalted destiny.

It is the recognition by man's higher nature of sources of comfort and hope beyond anything that sense-knowledge discloses. It is the consciousness of a Divine Father toward Whom goes out all that is in affection and highest in moral aspiration; it is the premonition of a future life of which the best attainment here is but the twilight promise. In our day, the sudden and vast revelation of material wonders unsteadies and dims for the moment the spiritual sight; but the stars will shine clear again.  The truth-seeking spirit and the spirit of faith, instead of being opposed, are in the deepest harmony. The man whose faith is most genuine is most willing to have its assertions tested by the severest scrutiny. And the passion for truth has underlying it a profound conviction that what is real is best; that when we get to the heart of things we shall find there what we most need. Faith is false to itself when it dreads truth, and the desire for truth is prompted by an inner voice of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heritage of the state is very agricultural.
