Secretly we are ourselves the masters in this relationship. We are not concerned with God, but with our own requirements, to which God must adjust Himself. Our arrogance demands that, in addition to everything else, some super-world should also be known and accessible to us. Our conduct calls for some deeper sanction, some approbation and remuneration from another world. Our well-regulated, pleasurable life longs for some hours of devotion, some prolongation into infinity. And so, when we set God upon the throne of the world, we mean by God ourselves. In "believing" on Him, we justify, enjoy, and adore ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58196]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thing I really like about Danny is he's very versatile.

A lofty spirit excites admiration by its profoundness; but only a right spirit achieves salvation and happiness by its stability and integrity. Do not conform your ideas to those of the world. Scorn the "intellectual" as much as the world esteems it. What men consider intellectual is a certain facility to produce brilliant thoughts. Nothing is more vain. We make an idol of our intellect as a woman who believes herself beautiful worships her face. We take pride in our own thoughts. We must reject not only human cleverness, but also human prudence, which seems so important and so profitable. Then we may enter -- like little children, with candor and innocence of worldly ways -- into the simplicity of faith; and with humility and a horror of sin we may enter into the holy passion of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only mediocrity can be trusted to be always at its best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only mediocrity can be trusted to be always at its best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The US has a vital interest in that area of the country [Latin America]. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47080]]></link><description><![CDATA[The US has a vital interest in that area of the country [Latin America].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away athis rock perhaps a hundred times without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22622]]></link><description><![CDATA[When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away athis rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it wasnot that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But conversation, choose what theme we may, And chiefly when religion leads the way,  Should flow, like waters after ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10087]]></link><description><![CDATA[But conversation, choose what theme we may, And chiefly when religion leads the way,  Should flow, like waters after summer show'rs,   Not as if raised by mere mechanic powers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a genius when he is dreaming. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a genius when he is dreaming.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No traces left of all the busy scene, But that remembrances says: The things have been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45661]]></link><description><![CDATA[No traces left of all the busy scene, But that remembrances says: The things have been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Solitude is independence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Solitude is independence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected- in so far as it could ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25699]]></link><description><![CDATA[This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown, unhoped for, unexpected- in so far as it could be a matter of conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him, and he understood, with joyous amazement, that this was for life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21623]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Does not the public repudiation of the whole Christian scheme of life in a large part of what was once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Does not the public repudiation of the whole Christian scheme of life in a large part of what was once known as Christendom force one to confront the question whether the path of Wisdom is not rather to attempt to work out a Christian doctrine of modern society and to order our national life in accordance with it? Those who would give a quick, easy or confident answer to this question have failed to understand it. It cannot even be seriously considered without a profound awareness of the extent to which Christian ideas have lost their hold over, or faded from the consciousness of, large sections of the population; of the far-reaching changes that would be called for in the structure, institutions and activities of existing society, which is in many of its features a complete denial of the Christian understanding of the meaning and end of man's existence; and of the stupendous and costly spiritual, moral, and intellectual effort that any genuine attempt to order national life in accordance with the Christian understanding of life would demand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We continue to demand that the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia get immediate access to Kosovo, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41092]]></link><description><![CDATA[We continue to demand that the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia get immediate access to Kosovo,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He never sought to stem the current.
