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[There is a tiny yellow daffodil, The butterfly can see it from afar,  Although one summer evening's dew could ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10978]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a tiny yellow daffodil, The butterfly can see it from afar,  Although one summer evening's dew could fill   Its little cup twice over, ere the star    Had called the lazy shepherd to his fold,     And be no prodigal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My bottom line is that if the U.S. government just stands on the autopilot, just on the current trim line ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35956]]></link><description><![CDATA[My bottom line is that if the U.S. government just stands on the autopilot, just on the current trim line ...

And, if you find it, remember how that it is God's appointing that you shall now behold this sin in another, in order that you may be brought to acknowledge and repent of it; and amend your ways and pray for your brother, that God may grant him repentance and amendment according to His Divine Will. Thus a good heart draws amendment from the sins of others, and is guarded from all harsh judgment and wrath, and preserves an even temper; while an evil heart puts the worst interpretation on all that it sees, and turns it to its own hurt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight.

You are surrendering to love, because God is Love, the cohesive force of the universe that connects us all. Surrender is not just a religious concept; it's a power tool for listening to the voice of your spirit and following its directions. When you surrender your head to your heart, you allow your heart to give you a wider, higher intelligence perspective. Remember the phrase, "The real teacher is within you." Very simply, that teacher is to be found in the common sense of your own heart. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength to prevent, it seldom has justice enough to accuse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength to prevent, it seldom has justice enough to accuse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is the author, men are only the players.
