We don't despise God's name; in fact, we call upon it constantly to justify ourselves... If we object to meat-eating, we declare that God is vegetarian; if we abhor war, we proclaim a pacifist Deity. He who turned water into wine to gladden a wedding it now accused by many of favouring that abominable fluid grape juice. There can hardly be a more evil way of taking God's name in vain than this way of presuming to speak in it. For here is spiritual pride, the ultimate sin, in action -- the sin of believing in one's own righteousness. The true prophet says humbly, "To me, a sinful man, God spoke." But the scribes and Pharisees declare, "When we speak, God agrees." They feel no need of a special revelation, for they are always, in their own view, infallible. It is this self-righteousness of the pious that most breeds atheism, by inspiring all decent, ordinary men with loathing of the enormous lie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is not a cosmic bell-boy for whom we can press a button to get things done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17711]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is not a cosmic bell-boy for whom we can press a button to get things done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13461]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When night hath set her silver lamp high, Then is the time for study. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58033]]></link><description><![CDATA[When night hath set her silver lamp high, Then is the time for study.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Condemn the fault, but not the actor of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51392]]></link><description><![CDATA[Condemn the fault, but not the actor of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wars and elections are both too big and too small to matter in the long run.

Yet it was the world that changed Christian consciousness.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17822]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are so appreciative of the men and women in uniform who are protecting us, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35548]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are so appreciative of the men and women in uniform who are protecting us, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq or on ships around the world.
