It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is onely bright that shines by himselfe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49318]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is onely bright that shines by himselfe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This strange disease of modern life, with its sick hurry, its divided aims. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56996]]></link><description><![CDATA[This strange disease of modern life, with its sick hurry, its divided aims.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The monarch oak, the patriarch of the trees, Shoots rising up, and spreads by slow degrees.  Three centuries he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44715]]></link><description><![CDATA[The monarch oak, the patriarch of the trees, Shoots rising up, and spreads by slow degrees.  Three centuries he grows, and three he stays   Supreme in state; and in three more decays.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies.

The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Christ the Lord is risen to-day," Sons of men and angels say.  Raise your joys and triumphs high;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13153]]></link><description><![CDATA["Christ the Lord is risen to-day," Sons of men and angels say.  Raise your joys and triumphs high;   Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13153</guid></item></channel></rss>
