No silence, since Gethsemane. Public was death; but power, but might,  But life again, but victory, Were hushed within the dead of night,  The shuttered dark, the secrecy. And all alone, alone, alone He rose again behind the stone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[American prosperity and American free enterprise are both highly unusual in the world, and we should not overlook the possibility ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15807]]></link><description><![CDATA[American prosperity and American free enterprise are both highly unusual in the world, and we should not overlook the possibility that the two are connected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One truth stands firm.

The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boxing purists, quite naturally, question Tyson's appetite for victory.
