This is not a specially religious mistake. We think of supernaturalism when faith is mentioned, but the naturalistic description of the world also operates on assumptions that require a faith as robust as does the most soaring mysticism. The usual efforts to skirt faith beg all the questions there are. A psychiatrist, for instance, who points out to you that you believe in God the Father because you need a father, or that you became a missionary to expiate your guilt feelings, may be quite correct, but he has not touched on the prior question as to whether there is, in fact, a cosmic father figure who is the archetype of all other fathers, or whether there is an evangel worth spending your life promulgating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44185]]></link><description><![CDATA[To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65810]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A brother is a friend provided by nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15168]]></link><description><![CDATA[A brother is a friend provided by nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A frightened captain makes a frightened crew. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24456]]></link><description><![CDATA[A frightened captain makes a frightened crew.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   That fear which keeps from sin and excites the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6933]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   That fear which keeps from sin and excites the soul to cleave more firmly to God, be the object of it what it will, is no servile fear, but a holy fear and due reverence unto God and His word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men have not been concerned with fame.
