Those who would give a quick, easy or confident answer to this question have failed to understand it. It cannot even be seriously considered without a profound awareness of the extent to which Christian ideas have lost their hold over, or faded from the consciousness of, large sections of the population; of the far-reaching changes that would be called for in the structure, institutions and activities of existing society, which is in many of its features a complete denial of the Christian understanding of the meaning and end of man's existence; and of the stupendous and costly spiritual, moral, and intellectual effort that any genuine attempt to order national life in accordance with the Christian understanding of life would demand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a gratefull man give mony when he askes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49996]]></link><description><![CDATA[To a gratefull man give mony when he askes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59344]]></link><description><![CDATA[This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it weren't for marriage, men and women would have to fight with total strangers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27243]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it weren't for marriage, men and women would have to fight with total strangers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is the #1 cause of insanity among those who are in contact with it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is the #1 cause of insanity among those who are in contact with it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My soul tasted that heavenly food, which gives new appetite while it satiates. [It., L'anima mia gustava di quel cibo, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2896]]></link><description><![CDATA[My soul tasted that heavenly food, which gives new appetite while it satiates. [It., L'anima mia gustava di quel cibo,  Che saziando di se, di se s'asseta.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee is rich enough that wants nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49431]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee is rich enough that wants nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a good feeling about the new cabinet, especially as the reformists are still around.

He is nothing of the kind: he is simply a man who is sure of his foundation, and is convinced that the only way to any true advancement is spiritual, and is Christ; and therefore he persists, in spite of all appearances, in clinging to Christ as the only foundation, and in building all his hopes for the future on the acceptance of Christ. He is not content with attacks upon symptoms of evil; they seem to him superficial: he goes to the roots. He cannot be content with teaching men Christian principles of conduct, "Christian ideals of social life" -- still less with the establishment of colleges and clubs. Nothing but Christ Himself, faith in Christ, the obedience of Christ, seems to him equal to the need, and nothing else is his work but the establishment of that foundation. In doing this he is not showing indifference to social evils, he is not standing aloof from beneficent movements; he is actively engaged in laying the axe to the roots of the trees which bear the evil. That is not indifference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the business world today, failure is apparently not an option.
