There is a Pagan, savage heart in me somewhere. For unfortunately the folly and idiot-cunning of Paganism seem to have far more power of surviving than its innocent or even beautiful elements. It is easy, once you have power, to silence the pipes, still the dances, disfigure the statues, and forget the stories; but not easy to kill the savage, the greedy, frightened creature now cringing, now blustering in one's soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was flesh and blood.

If they clamor for freedom, it is but freedom to establish equality and uniformity.

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[Love is the extra effort we make in our dealings with those whom we do not like and once you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the extra effort we make in our dealings with those whom we do not like and once you understand that, you understand all.

Origen seems to have put forward a definition generally agreed upon among ecclesiastical writers when he said that it is a faculty of the reason to distinguish between good and evil, a faculty of the will to choose one or the other. Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace; evil, when grace is absent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It needs to be adjusted to accommodate a growing wine industry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40015]]></link><description><![CDATA[It needs to be adjusted to accommodate a growing wine industry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tradition is an explanation for acting without thinking ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tradition is an explanation for acting without thinking]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There seems to be a strong consensus that the Fed isn't going to do anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30762]]></link><description><![CDATA[There seems to be a strong consensus that the Fed isn't going to do anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945   Come to the Bible, not to study the history of God's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6384]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945   Come to the Bible, not to study the history of God's divine action, but to be its object; not to learn what it has achieved throughout the centuries and still does, but simply to be the subject of its operation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6384</guid></item></channel></rss>
