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[At that time we could not use the federal government's marijuana to show that it might be beneficial because NIDA ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33824]]></link><description><![CDATA[At that time we could not use the federal government's marijuana to show that it might be beneficial because NIDA has a mandate from Congress that they could only supply marijuana for research to show that it might be dangerous.

At the very least, they can add a note of reality to what the minister offers. In many cases, the group takes up where the individual counseling left off, supplementing it or even eliminating it entirely. I have been repeatedly thankful that a group was available to give steady guidance who had made a fresh start in Christian living, but who still had a long way to go; this has been especially true in cases of loneliness, moderate emotional instability, inability to understand others, and need of continued guidance in the use of prayer and the Bible and the accepting and giving of love. In the nature of the case, no amount of individual counseling can fully deal with these needs. The "priesthood of all believers" becomes a recognized fact, with each person helping to open up for his neighbor the way to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difference of object does not alter singleness of passion.

Remember the mental and emotional budget sheet.

That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hold these truths to be self-evident,--that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54271]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hold these truths to be self-evident,--that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The charity that hastens to proclaim its good deeds, ceases to be charity, and is only pride and ostentation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45314]]></link><description><![CDATA[The charity that hastens to proclaim its good deeds, ceases to be charity, and is only pride and ostentation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is nobler to convert souls, than to conquer kingdoms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52137]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is nobler to convert souls, than to conquer kingdoms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any boy can get a girl, it takes a man to keep one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any boy can get a girl, it takes a man to keep one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls, must dive below. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls, must dive below.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that we were very, very lucky that it went that way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35801]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that we were very, very lucky that it went that way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not failure, but low aim, is crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14943]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not failure, but low aim, is crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never know any trouble than an hour's reading didn't assuage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4586]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've never know any trouble than an hour's reading didn't assuage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew the ball was going in.
