The mystic soul may impatiently think so, but the moral soul finds such mediation the way to reality; and the mystic experience is not quite trustworthy about reality. The pagan gods had no mediators, because they were not real or good gods; but the living God has a living Revealer. To know the living God is to know Christ; to know Christ is to know the living God. We do not know God by Christ but in Him. We find God when we find Christ; and in Christ alone we know and share his final purpose. Our last knowledge is not the contact of our person with a thing or a thought; it is intercourse of person and person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation\'s braggart lords. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66182]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation\'s braggart lords.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good men prefer to be accountable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good men prefer to be accountable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has the body-fat content of a 20-year-old sprinter, the bone structure of a public monument and the eyes... well, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33115]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has the body-fat content of a 20-year-old sprinter, the bone structure of a public monument and the eyes... well, we know about the blue eyes (which happen to be colorblind).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying.

The gates have been opened to evil in part because of a terrible discrepancy between human ideals and actual possibilities -- terrible heresies concerning the nature of man and the structure of the historical universe. Christianity, even if it cannot persuade men to rise to the contemplation of the spiritual things, embodies principles which may at least have the effect of bringing the dreamers down to earth. Because it confronts the problem of human sin, it can face our difficulties and dilemmas without evasions -- without the fundamental evasiveness of those who believe that all would be well with the world if it were not for a few unspeakable criminals, always conveniently identified with the political enemy of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just go on . . . and faith will soon return. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just go on . . . and faith will soon return.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many people have died, both military and civilian.

The purpose of mushrooms is to be mushrooms, wine is in order to wine: things are precious before they are contributory. It is a false piety that walks through creation looking only for lessons which can be applied somewhere else. To be sure, God remains the greatest good; but, for all that, the world is still good in itself. Indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own natural goodness; He has no use for it, only delight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Fed ought to like it [the producer price report], and personally I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42254]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Fed ought to like it [the producer price report], and personally I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To marry is to halve your rights and double your duties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27115]]></link><description><![CDATA[To marry is to halve your rights and double your duties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For every sale you miss because you're too enthusiastic, you will miss a hundred because you're not enthusiastic enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5002]]></link><description><![CDATA[For every sale you miss because you're too enthusiastic, you will miss a hundred because you're not enthusiastic enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5689]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, naturally, I'm Sean Michael Thomas or whatever his name is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, naturally, I'm Sean Michael Thomas or whatever his name is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never strove to rule the roast, She ne'er refus'd to pledge my toast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10140]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never strove to rule the roast, She ne'er refus'd to pledge my toast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This storm is far from over.
