As he passed along,the crowd made lowly prostration before the Image. The Ass,thinking that they bowed their heads in token of respect forhimself, bristled up with pride, gave himself airs, and refusedto move another step. The driver, seeing him thus stop, laid hiswhip lustily about his shoulders and said, O you perversedull-head! it is not yet come to this, that men pay worship to anAss. They are not wise who give to themselves the credit due to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time goes by fast, and people go in and out of your life so quickly, so you should never miss ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time goes by fast, and people go in and out of your life so quickly, so you should never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24324]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-defense is the clearest of all laws, and for this reason: lawyers didn't make it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-defense is the clearest of all laws, and for this reason: lawyers didn't make it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God's goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new-created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing, let your joyful heart praise and magnify so good and glorious a Creator.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God; you shall not have both ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23396]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God; you shall not have both]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evidently the pepper spray had no effect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evidently the pepper spray had no effect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It helps to have someone in the same boat as you, ...

Theologia Germanica    November 12, 1997  The Partisan Review, a journal of literary opinion representing a section of advanced secular thought, recently published a series of papers answering the question, "Why has there been a turn toward religion among intellectuals?" The asking of the question is significant. Few writers dispute the fact implied by it. Most of the contributors, whether they count themselves among those who have "turned to religion" or not, find the principal reason for it in the collapse of the optimistic hope that modern science and human good will would bring the world into an era of peace and justice. The confidence in that outcome has been so violently shaken that men must ask whether there are not higher resources than man's to sustain courage and hope. The faith of the Bible points to such sources. God works within the tragic destiny of human efforts with a healing power, and a reconciling spirit. Even those who have felt completely superior to all "outworn" religious notions, must look today at least wistfully to the possibility that such a God lives and works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Luke is an incredibly talented player who can start on the right or center of midfield.
