But this changes everything. The cross and the crucifixion enter into the bliss of paradise. The Son of God and the Son of Man descends into hell to free those who suffer there... To conquer evil, the good must crucify itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The end and aim of all education is the development of character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/838]]></link><description><![CDATA[The end and aim of all education is the development of character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48641]]></link><description><![CDATA[A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You call me misbeliever, cut-throat dog, And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine. -The Merchant of Venice.

I mean, how many leftists are animated by a quite reasonable self-loathing? In their hearts they know that they are not going to become scholars or inventors or industrialists or even ordinary good kind people. So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics. In an egalitarian world everything will be controlled by politics, and politics requires no merit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The individual's whole experience is built upon the plan of his language. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24078]]></link><description><![CDATA[The individual's whole experience is built upon the plan of his language.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65267]]></link><description><![CDATA[The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No woman marries for money; they are all clever enough, before marrying a millionaire, to fall in love with him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27242]]></link><description><![CDATA[No woman marries for money; they are all clever enough, before marrying a millionaire, to fall in love with him first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is a second self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16855]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is a second self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want happiness for a lifetime - help the next generation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17227]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want happiness for a lifetime - help the next generation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  Devotional poetry... has to do with devotedness, with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  Devotional poetry... has to do with devotedness, with trust merged into faith, with love's steadfastness. It finds men's worthwhileness deep laid in relationship to God's worthwhileness, and this devotion is expressed in communication. It finds this world precious insofar as it... symbolizes God's love and therefore it runs counter to our national sin of distrust in God.

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item></channel></rss>
