These paintings, these poems, and these demonstrations... are the expression of men who are struggling with their appalling lostness. Dare we laugh at such things? Dare we feel superior when we view their tortured expressions in their art? Christians should stop laughing and take such men seriously. Then we shall have the right to speak again to our generation. These men are dying while they live, yet where is our compassion for them? There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Optimist: A man who gets treed by a lion but enjoys the scenery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Optimist: A man who gets treed by a lion but enjoys the scenery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cases like this hopefully will clarify what copyright is all about.

I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should be lenient in our judgment, because often the mistakes of others would have been ours had we had ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53387]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should be lenient in our judgment, because often the mistakes of others would have been ours had we had the opportunity to make them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is doubtful if the oppressed ever fight for freedom.
