For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that if we really want human brotherhood to spread and increase until it makes life safe and sane, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15016]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that if we really want human brotherhood to spread and increase until it makes life safe and sane, we must also be certain that there is no one true faith or path by which it may spread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu, There's a little marble cross below the town,  There's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17751]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu, There's a little marble cross below the town,  There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,   And the yellow god forever gazes down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leave not a sword in the hand of an idiot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leave not a sword in the hand of an idiot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do everything with so much love in your heart that you wouldnever want to do it any other way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21871]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do everything with so much love in your heart that you wouldnever want to do it any other way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only mediocrity of enjoyment is allowed to man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22043]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only mediocrity of enjoyment is allowed to man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible.

It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength, before going out to face the world again. "The thoughtful soul to solitude retires," said the poet of other and quieter times; but where is the solitude to which we can retire today? "Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still," is a wise and healing counsel; but how can it be followed in this day of the newspaper, the telephone, the radio and television? These modern playthings, like pet tiger cubs, have grown so large and dangerous that they threaten to devour us all. What was intended to be a blessing has become a positive curse. No spot is now safe from the world's intrusion. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. What the world will do about it is their problem. Apparently the masses want it the way it is, and the majority of Christians are so completely conformed to this present age that they, too, want things the way they are. They may be annoyed a bit by the clamor and by the goldfish-bowl existence they live, but apparently they are not annoyed enough to do anything about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2727]]></link><description><![CDATA[If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies. . . .

And when thus I look at Him, what do I learn? First of all, the true divinity of Christ Himself. I cannot doubt what is His own conception of His own personality. Through everything He does, through everything He says, there shines the quiet, intense radiance of conscious Godhead. Again, I say, it is not a word or two which He utters, though He does say things which make known His self-consciousness, but it is a certain sense of originalness, of being, as it were, behind the processes of things -- this is what has impressed mankind in Jesus, and been the real power of their often puzzled but never abandoned faith in His Divinity. He has appeared to men, in some way, as He appears to us today, to be not merely the channel but the fountain of Love and Wisdom and Power, of Pity and Inspiration and Hope: The wonderful thing about this sense of Divinity as it appears in Jesus is its naturalness, the absence of surprise or of any feeling of violence. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7502</guid></item></channel></rss>
