Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is putting all your eggs in God's basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14987]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is putting all your eggs in God's basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're setting up investment banking now ... people will be on the ground this year.

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.

Now, once again may I ask you the question, Is the Church cruel when she points this out, and demands that men should see it and take account of it in all the arrangements of this life? Surely the cruelty lies with those who talk glibly about the brotherhood of man, and superficially about peace, and romantically about marriage, as though the disturbances in Church and state and family were introduced into human life by a few evil-minded men. This is the real cruelty. How will you face up later to your married life, to your administration of affairs, to your life in the Church, in fact to any real part of your lives, if you are taught to think that your neighbour will or ought to agree with you in all points, will accept your solutions of his problems, will in fact be a reflection of your image? Once we get this stuff and nonsense into our heads, we shall never be able to live with anyone or with any group of men. We shall sulk when we are crossed, or run away from the Other -- for Other they are. We shall certainly remove ourselves from the Church when we find it full of friction and yet proclaiming the love of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In general, they tend to get (up to) one-and-a-half percent of traffic, so you sign up a couple billion-dollar exchanges ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30309]]></link><description><![CDATA[In general, they tend to get (up to) one-and-a-half percent of traffic, so you sign up a couple billion-dollar exchanges and you are in good shape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will learn to pray, let him go to sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27755]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will learn to pray, let him go to sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Searching for what I need, and I don't even know precisely what that is, I was going from a man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Searching for what I need, and I don't even know precisely what that is, I was going from a man to a man, and I saw that all of them together have less than me who has nothing, and that I left to each of them a bit of that what I don't have and I've been searching for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's nothing that allays an angry mind So soon as a sweet beauty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3835]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's nothing that allays an angry mind So soon as a sweet beauty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23231]]></link><description><![CDATA[People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I prithee take the cork out of thy mouth, that I may drink thy tidings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58621]]></link><description><![CDATA[I prithee take the cork out of thy mouth, that I may drink thy tidings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know what it was.
