That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody sees when you are lying in your bedand I want to crawl in with youbut I cry instead ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody sees when you are lying in your bedand I want to crawl in with youbut I cry instead]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12228]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see, dear, it is not true that woman was made from man's rib; she was really made from his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61927]]></link><description><![CDATA[You see, dear, it is not true that woman was made from man's rib; she was really made from his funny bone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world.

He observes many different kinds of peace prevailing in the world he inhabits. Not all of them are good. For example, there is the peace that death brings, the peace of the tomb. Today it could be called the peace of Auschwitz. Hitler tried to "make peace" with the Jews by seeking their "final solution"; but the evangelical would fight rather than submit to such a peace. There is also the peace of slavery and subjection, the Pax Romana. Dictators are very fond of the Roman peace. Today it could be called the peace of Tibet. The nation of Tibet has been completely stripped of its personality in our generation by Communist China without a single protest being made in front of a single embassy. Again, there is peace that is artificially induced in men. Among individuals it is the peace of the tranquilizer, the peace of withdrawal and schizophrenia, the peace of the brain-washed prisoner. Should large-scale chemical warfare break our, we are told, whole cities could be sprayed and pacified by such drugs. The evangelical is not interested in paying such high prices for the sake of peace. He would rather stay free, and alive, and in his right mind, prepared to fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62296]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pitchers today are only expected to pitch into the sixth inning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pitchers today are only expected to pitch into the sixth inning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a woman of very few words, but lots of action. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/473]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm a woman of very few words, but lots of action.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.
