We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Victory has a hundred fathers, but defeat is an orphan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Victory has a hundred fathers, but defeat is an orphan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not that often you see a contract settle without concessions in this day and age.

That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Un-dish-cover the fish, or dishcover the riddle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Un-dish-cover the fish, or dishcover the riddle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16062</guid></item></channel></rss>
