And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to spend your time at funerals than at festivals.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet looks he like a king.

Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly. A devil thrown out of a woman by the Archbishop of Rheims ran through the trees, pursued by a hundred persons, until the open country was reached, where by a leap higher than a church spire he escaped into a bird. A chaplain in Cromwell's army exorcised a soldier's obsessing devil by throwing the soldier into the water, when the devil came to the surface. The soldier, unfortunately, did not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason for filing the intervention has been accomplished. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39680]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason for filing the intervention has been accomplished.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[RIM is definitely trying to push aggressively with their technology, but legal issues are holding them back from going full ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30414]]></link><description><![CDATA[RIM is definitely trying to push aggressively with their technology, but legal issues are holding them back from going full throttle and coming out with new devices and technologies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the most part we know what we're getting into, but we may get there and realize there's more to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32244]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the most part we know what we're getting into, but we may get there and realize there's more to it.
