Oh, Thou didst know that Thy deed would be recorded in books, would be handed down to remote times and the utmost ends of the earth, and Thou didst hope that man, following Thee, would cling to God and not ask for a miracle. But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every effort for progress, for enlightenment, for science, for religious, political, and economic liberty, emanates from the minority, and not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every effort for progress, for enlightenment, for science, for religious, political, and economic liberty, emanates from the minority, and not from the mass]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then grew a wrinkle on fair Venus' brow, The amber sweet of love is turn'd to gall!  Gloomy was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then grew a wrinkle on fair Venus' brow, The amber sweet of love is turn'd to gall!  Gloomy was Heaven; bright Phoebus did avow   He would be coy, and would not love at all;    Swearing no greater mischief could be wrought,     Than love united to a jealous thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every teacher has to learn the lession. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every teacher has to learn the lession.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another ... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another ...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am very, very happy to have earned this first point.

S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One has a greater sense of intellectual degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14697]]></link><description><![CDATA[One has a greater sense of intellectual degradation after an interview with a doctor than from any human experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have met a lot of hardboiled eggs in my time, but you're twenty minutes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17051]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have met a lot of hardboiled eggs in my time, but you're twenty minutes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no must in art because art is free ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3147]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no must in art because art is free]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no gardening without humility.
