S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Zealand is a country of thirty thousand million sheep, three million of whom think they are human. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10217]]></link><description><![CDATA[New Zealand is a country of thirty thousand million sheep, three million of whom think they are human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our yesterday's to-morrow now is gone, And still a new to-morrow does come on.  We by to-morrow draw out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our yesterday's to-morrow now is gone, And still a new to-morrow does come on.  We by to-morrow draw out all our store,   Till the exhausted well can yield no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24395]]></link><description><![CDATA[To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who follows a crowd will never be followed by a crowd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22555]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who follows a crowd will never be followed by a crowd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even if he goes to prep school, I think he still wants to go to Syracuse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even if he goes to prep school, I think he still wants to go to Syracuse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By a man's reaction to Jesus Christ, that man stands revealed.

For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What garlic is to food, insanity is to art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28090]]></link><description><![CDATA[What garlic is to food, insanity is to art.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams;  I bear light shade for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8921]]></link><description><![CDATA[I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams;  I bear light shade for the leaves when laid   In their noonday dreams.    From my wings are shaken the dews that waken     The sweet buds every one,      When rocked to rest on their mother's breast,       As she dances about the sun.        I wield the flail of the lashing hail,         And whiten the green plains under,          And then again I dissolve it in rain,           And laugh as I pass in thunder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Retirement at sixty-five is ridiculous.
