Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fool boasts of those who fear him; a wise man's pride is those who respect him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15521]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fool boasts of those who fear him; a wise man's pride is those who respect him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning by study must be won; 'Twas ne'er entail'd from son to son. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning by study must be won; 'Twas ne'er entail'd from son to son.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not blind.
