It lies in the hearts and minds of all people. So let us not rest all our hopes on parchment and on paper, let us strive to build peace, a desire for peace, a willingness to work for peace in the hearts and minds of all of our people. I believe that we can. I believe the problems of human destiny are not beyond the reach of human beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No deceit is so veiled as that which lies concealed behind the semblance of courtesy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48854]]></link><description><![CDATA[No deceit is so veiled as that which lies concealed behind the semblance of courtesy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try not to have a good time ...

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[When we can't dream any longer, we die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52204]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we can't dream any longer, we die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have invited four artists to participate, ...

There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The technique of a mass movement aims to infect people with a malady and then offer the movement as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56857]]></link><description><![CDATA[The technique of a mass movement aims to infect people with a malady and then offer the movement as a cure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have not yet reached a consensus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39008]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have not yet reached a consensus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When prosperity comes, do not use all of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1454]]></link><description><![CDATA[When prosperity comes, do not use all of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flames too soon acquire strength if disregarded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50221]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flames too soon acquire strength if disregarded.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are proud in humility, proud in that they are not proud. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48190]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are proud in humility, proud in that they are not proud.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people say they do not care what others think of them, for the most part they deceive themselves.
