Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Variety's the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That thou seest, man, become too thou must; God, if thou seest God, dust, if thou seest dust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9431]]></link><description><![CDATA[That thou seest, man, become too thou must; God, if thou seest God, dust, if thou seest dust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our moral traditions developed concurrently with our reason, not as its product. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our moral traditions developed concurrently with our reason, not as its product.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True love doesn't come to you, it has to be inside you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4057]]></link><description><![CDATA[True love doesn't come to you, it has to be inside you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom comes alone through suffering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom comes alone through suffering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? [Lat., Quod enim ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13398]]></link><description><![CDATA[What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? [Lat., Quod enim munus reiplicae afferre majus, meliusve possumus, quam si docemus atque erudimus juventutem?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming off a tough win against Minuteman, it's good to get a win against Swampscott over here.

This is extremely difficult for us, because Jesus was careful to give men no external guarantee that he was, in fact, God in the flesh. Otherwise, he realized, we would not be worshipping him, but would only be worshipping or trusting in the guarantee, whatever it might be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every writer hopes or boldly assumes that his life is in some sense exemplary, that the particular will turn out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every writer hopes or boldly assumes that his life is in some sense exemplary, that the particular will turn out to be universal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two types of people.
