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[Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. -Eleanor Roosevelt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that pure thinking will do more to educate a man than any other activity he can engage in. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7323]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that pure thinking will do more to educate a man than any other activity he can engage in.

But, in addition, God affects us by determining that in the universe certain causes shall bring about certain effects. Cause and effect is, therefore, the operation of God through normal channels rather than through special channels. We have our normal way of acting when we drive a car. We can more or less put it in "automatic pilot" while we carry on a conversation, but when an emergency arises, we take conscious personal control. I have a hunch that God has something for which this automatic pilot will serve as an illustration. That is, His routine way of operating is cause and effect, and He is in control of it, so that when cause and effect affects us, then God is affecting us. That is what the Apostle Paul means in Galatians when he says, "Do not kid yourself -- God is not blind. What you do, you will get paid for." The causes which we have set in operation by our own personal choices will inevitably bring about certain results. But God is involved because God makes cause and effect to work.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Houses are built to live in and not to look on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Houses are built to live in and not to look on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/459]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52063]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think practicing what you preach is rough, just try preaching what you practice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53650]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you think practicing what you preach is rough, just try preaching what you practice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53650</guid></item></channel></rss>
