How human is the God of the Old Testament -- the God who appears, speaks, guides, who loves and is loved, even as the Man of the New Testament, Christ Jesus, is divine! This difference between the idea of an absolute and infinite God and the God of Scripture is, after all, that which separates the true believer and Christian from the natural man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves to get it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unhappiness is not knowing what we want and killing ourselves to get it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think Joey O'Neill will have a good game.

It is no use passing judgments and making scapegoats of this or that individual statesman or group of statesmen. Idealists make a great mistake in not facing the real facts sincerely and resolutely. They believe in the power of the spirit, in the goodness which is at the heart of things, in the triumph which is in store for the great moral ideals of the race. But this great faith only too often leads to an optimism which is sadly and fatally at variance with actual results. It is the realist and not the idealist who is generally justified by events. We forget that the human spirit, the spirit of goodness and truth in the world, is still only an infant crying in the night, and that the struggle with darkness is as yet mostly an unequal struggle. . . . Paris proved this terrible truth once more. It was not Wilson who failed there, but humanity itself. It was not the statesmen that failed, so much as the spirit of the peoples behind them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old men are dangerous it doesn't matter to them what is going to happen to the world ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old men are dangerous it doesn't matter to them what is going to happen to the world]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men that are ruined, are ruined on the side of their natural propensities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5639]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men that are ruined, are ruined on the side of their natural propensities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to act as if we can live apart from each other.
