It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Distance tests a horse's strength.

Christians are to be the makers of Christ's peace. Something we can all do is to reconcile individuals, families, classes, churches, nations. The question is, Are we, as churchmen and citizens, by work and by prayer, in our private conduct and our public action, doing our utmost with deliberate, unsparing effort! If so, our benediction is of the highest: it is to be, and to be acknowledged as being, sons of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was real surprised.

Christ, the Spirit of Christ, interpenetrating ours, sweetens, purifies, transforms all. This can only eradicate what is wrong, renovate and regenerate, and rehabilitate the inner man. Will-power does not change men. Time does not change men. Christ does.

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[Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords - philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords - philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think every woman is entitled to a middle husband she can forget. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27101]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think every woman is entitled to a middle husband she can forget.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...the differences between the conservative and the radical seem to spring mainly from their attitude toward the future.

He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an honor for the organization, an honor for me and an honor for my family.
