Life is a process of becoming, and the moment of death is the transition from one life to another. Thus it is possible for a Christian to succumb to his own kind of death-wish, to seek that extreme of other-worldliness to which the faith has always been liable, especially in periods of stress and uncertainty. There may appear a marked preoccupation with death and a rejection of all temporal things. To say that this world is in a fallen state and that not too much value must be set upon it, is very far from the Manichaean error of supposing it to be evil throughout. The Christian hope finds ambivalence in death: that which destroys, also redeems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Call Grover, tell him I am in Michigan and that I have two checks for him totaling 160 and need ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Call Grover, tell him I am in Michigan and that I have two checks for him totaling 160 and need a check back for Faith and Family for $150K.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The English doctrine that all power is a trust for the public good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52513]]></link><description><![CDATA[The English doctrine that all power is a trust for the public good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Darkness can not drive out darkness; only light can do that.

The crimes of Caligula shrink to insignificance compared to the havoc wrought by Torquemada. The number of victims of robbers, highwaymen, rapists, gangsters and other criminals at any period of history is negligible compared to the massive numbers of those cheerfully slain in the name of the true religion, just policy, or correct ideology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14323]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We kind of got called out in our defensive-line meeting, ...

They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23745]]></link><description><![CDATA[What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is ample precedent for the Security Council to take up the human rights and political situation in a country ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30402]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is ample precedent for the Security Council to take up the human rights and political situation in a country with as horrific a record as Burma, especially when suffering spills across borders.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge is soon changed, then lost in the mist, an echo half-heard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge is soon changed, then lost in the mist, an echo half-heard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think of this award as being what we call 'The Year of the Complete Ballplayer,' ...

Genuine spiritual authority is to be found only where the ministry of hearing, helping, bearing, and proclaiming is carried out. Every cult of personality that emphasizes the distinguished qualities, virtues, and talents of another person, even though these be of an altogether spiritual nature, is worldly and has no place in the Christian community; indeed, it poisons the Christian community...   Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in the service of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not need brilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...   Pastoral authority can be attained only by the servant of Jesus who seeks no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to the authority of the Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9557]]></link><description><![CDATA[I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Saints & Martyrs of England  The one supreme, unchangeable rule of love, which is a law to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Saints & Martyrs of England  The one supreme, unchangeable rule of love, which is a law to all intelligent beings of all worlds and will be a law to all eternity, is this, viz., that God alone is to be loved for Himself, and all other beings only in Him and for Him. Whatever intelligent creature lives not under this rule of love is so far fallen from the order of his creation, and is, till he returns to this eternal law of love, an apostate from God and incapable of the kingdom of Heaven. Now, if God is alone to be loved for Himself, then no creature is to be loved for itself; and so all self-love in every creature is absolutely condemned. And if all created beings are only to be loved in and for God, then my neighbour is to be loved as I love myself, and I am only to love myself as I love my neighbour or any other created being that is, only in and for God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is the view that poetry should improve your life.
