Our duty is to see whether God is with us; whether we expect great things from Him; whether we do not practically place Him far off, forgetting that, if He is, He is about us, speaking to us words that have not been heard before, guiding us to paths on which earlier generations have not been able to enter. There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice discards party, friendship, kindred, and is therefore always represented as blind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice discards party, friendship, kindred, and is therefore always represented as blind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When eating an elephant take one bite at a time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32260]]></link><description><![CDATA[When eating an elephant take one bite at a time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're particularly concerned with the lack of disclosure in the '50s, '60s and '70s around the potential damages of this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35510]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're particularly concerned with the lack of disclosure in the '50s, '60s and '70s around the potential damages of this product.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They may the better fish in the water when it is troubled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16114]]></link><description><![CDATA[They may the better fish in the water when it is troubled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't know why the numbers are up.

because, as we misunderstand it, the whole point of the good news our Lord brings is the (to us) gladsome announcement that God is happily much more morally indifferent than our consciences had thought, and is not going to make a fuss about our sins and such-like trivial peccadilloes, but will surely let us off -- because, in fact, we have not grasped that the core and essence of the Gospel... is its tremendous and glorious revelation of how deadly is God's hatred of sin, so that He cannot stand having it in the same universe as Himself, and will go any length, and will pay any price, and will make any sacrifice, to master and abolish it, is set upon so doing in our hearts, thank God, as elsewhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess one of the reasons I'm doing the Poe piece is that I think Poe demonstrates that no matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38795]]></link><description><![CDATA[I guess one of the reasons I'm doing the Poe piece is that I think Poe demonstrates that no matter how difficult things are, if you continue to move forward in life, you can eventually become victorious, even if it's later in life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I call not that virginity a virtue, which resideth only in the bodies integrity;
