I am referring to the almost total ignorance of the content and implication of the Christian Faith shown by many "clever" people today. Frankly, I find it horrifying to discover that men who are experts in their own line -- in astronomy, genetics, or nuclear physics, for example -- have no adult knowledge of what the Church of Christ stands for, and a complete blank ignorance of what the Church is achieving today. It is the more horrifying because people who rightly respect the expert for his knowledge in his own field have no idea that he has not carefully examined and reluctantly discarded Christianity; but in all probability he has never studied it at all!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I recover my property wherever I find it. [Fr., Je reprends mon bien ou je le trouve.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46646]]></link><description><![CDATA[I recover my property wherever I find it. [Fr., Je reprends mon bien ou je le trouve.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Celerity is never more admired Than by the negligent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18782]]></link><description><![CDATA[Celerity is never more admired Than by the negligent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19932]]></link><description><![CDATA[There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a permanent reminder that medicine is not food. Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think these women had a reasonable expectation of privacy.
