He is nothing of the kind: he is simply a man who is sure of his foundation, and is convinced that the only way to any true advancement is spiritual, and is Christ; and therefore he persists, in spite of all appearances, in clinging to Christ as the only foundation, and in building all his hopes for the future on the acceptance of Christ. He is not content with attacks upon symptoms of evil; they seem to him superficial: he goes to the roots. He cannot be content with teaching men Christian principles of conduct, "Christian ideals of social life" -- still less with the establishment of colleges and clubs. Nothing but Christ Himself, faith in Christ, the obedience of Christ, seems to him equal to the need, and nothing else is his work but the establishment of that foundation. In doing this he is not showing indifference to social evils, he is not standing aloof from beneficent movements; he is actively engaged in laying the axe to the roots of the trees which bear the evil. That is not indifference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true character of liberty is independence, maintained by force. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24748]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true character of liberty is independence, maintained by force.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A scepter is one thing, and a ladle another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49074]]></link><description><![CDATA[A scepter is one thing, and a ladle another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If cats could talk, they wouldn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5326]]></link><description><![CDATA[If cats could talk, they wouldn't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all.

People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each of us bears his own Hell ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each of us bears his own Hell]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a freshman and he was feeling his way.
