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[Fear keepes and looks to the vineyard, and not the owner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear keepes and looks to the vineyard, and not the owner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A leech that will not quit the skin until sated with blood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50177]]></link><description><![CDATA[A leech that will not quit the skin until sated with blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frank and explicit--that is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and confuse the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Frank and explicit--that is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and confuse the minds of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quran Is Such An Authority On Problems Of Religion That It Can Be Trusted Upon.

And the chief of them is this: "Do not lie to God." And that curt piece of advice, so bluntly thrown down for us, is indeed all-important. Do not burn false fire upon God's altar; do not pose and pretend, either to Him or to yourself, in your religious exercises; do not say more than you mean, or use exagerated language that goes beyond the facts, when speaking to Him whose word is truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894 Heaven overarches earth and sea,   Earth-sadness and sea-bitterness.

The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever may be our differences of colour, culture, and class, the unity that is ours in Christ is given visible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever may be our differences of colour, culture, and class, the unity that is ours in Christ is given visible expression at every Synod. Here we all gather around the one Altar, here we all share in shaping the policy of the Church in this diocese; here we all take part in making provision for carrying on the work of the Church during the coming year. At this time, year by year, we are specially conscious of our unity in Christ, and are made aware afresh that we are members of this new race of human beings which is made up of all those of every ethnic group who have been added to Christ. We are members of that Kingdom in which all human antagonisms are transcended. Yet we shall not interpret aright this unity which is ours in Christ Jesus unless we continually remind ourselves that it has its origin in His death and resurrection. The Church springs out of the deeds of Jesus done in the flesh, and we can only fulfill our destiny in the Church as we learn that we are utterly dependent upon the whole Body of Christ. . . . Whatever gifts we possess belong to the Body, and are useful only as they are used in the common life of the Church. All this is made very plain in the New Testament Epistles, for in them we are taught that each local Christian community is a fellowship in which every member is to live in humility and in love to the brethren. Yet no local church is to live to it self. Again and again, local churches are reminded of their close relationship to one another, in life, work, worship, pain, and death. Not that such a relationship is to be regarded either as a matter of convenience or as a question of organization. On the contrary, this intimate relationship is seen as the direct outcome of the saving work of Christ. This unity with one another, and of local churches with each other, is the unity which belongs to the Body of Christ, arising from the unity of God Himself, uttered in the dying and rising again of Jesus, and now expressed in the order and structure of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn all you can from the mistakes of others.
