Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, and hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Nicholas Ferrar, Deacon, Founder of the Little Gidding Community, 1637  There is a pride of faith, more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7121]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Nicholas Ferrar, Deacon, Founder of the Little Gidding Community, 1637  There is a pride of faith, more unforgiveable and dangerous than the pride of the intellect. It reveals a split personality in which faith is "observed" and appraised, thus negating that unity born of a dying-unto-self, which is the definition of faith. To "value" faith is to turn it into a metaphysical magic, the advantages of which ought to be reserved for a spiritual elite.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What do I know of man's destiny?

It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men who accomplish great things in the industrial world are the ones who have faith in the money producing power ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9558]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men who accomplish great things in the industrial world are the ones who have faith in the money producing power of ideas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning is the indispensable investment required for success in the 'information age' we are entering ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning is the indispensable investment required for success in the 'information age' we are entering]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His genius he was quite content in one brief sentence to define; Of inspiration one percent, of perspiration, ninety nine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64036]]></link><description><![CDATA[His genius he was quite content in one brief sentence to define; Of inspiration one percent, of perspiration, ninety nine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never idealize others.
