They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the most uncomfortable thing about martyrs is that they look down on people who aren't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26473]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the most uncomfortable thing about martyrs is that they look down on people who aren't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64563]]></link><description><![CDATA[We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.rn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24186]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools give you reasons, wise men never try. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible.

Unfortunately, the popular effect of this scientific advance has been a belief, seemingly shared by many scientists, that the range of our ignorance is steadily diminishing and that we can therefore aim at more comprehensive and deliberate control of all human activities. It is for this reason that those intoxicated by the advance of knowledge so often become the enemies of freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never go to bed angry.

It blends into the scenery. Many people assume that we live in a "Christian society". Obviously, the Christian church has no strong witness against society. In [a communist country], the situation is exactly the opposite. Christians there live under a political regime which makes a point of distinguishing itself from all religion, and which is grounded philosophically on atheism and materialism. The Church lives in a hostile social order. The result is that the weak Christians are weeded out, and the strong Christians are tremendously strengthened by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I probably should have said no, ...
