This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delphi has set a deadline where they want everything wrapped up by (Thursday). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Delphi has set a deadline where they want everything wrapped up by (Thursday).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13740]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you would have me weep, you must first of all feel grief yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Basil the Great & Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops, Teachers, 379 & 389 Commemoration of Seraphim, Monk of Sarov, Mystic, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Basil the Great & Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops, Teachers, 379 & 389 Commemoration of Seraphim, Monk of Sarov, Mystic, Staretz, 1833   I have seen minute-glasses: glasses so short liv'd! If I were to preach upon this text ("For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matt. 6:21), to such a glass, it would be enough for half the sermon, enough to show the worldly man his treasure, and the object of his Heart, to call his eye to that minute-glass, and to tell him, "There flows, there flies, your treasure, and your heart with it."   But if I had a secular glass, a glass that would run an age; if the two hemispheres of the world were composed in the form of such a glass, and all the world burnt to ashes, and all the ashes, and the sands, and atoms of the world put into that glass, it would not be enough to tell the godly man what his treasure, and the object of his heart is. A parrot will sooner be brought to relate to us the wisdom of a council table, than any Ambrose, or any Chrysostom, men that have gold and honey in their names, shall tell us what the treasure of heaven is, and that man's peace, that hath set his Heart upon that treasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the end of the day, am I happy with the way we played?

Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roses grow on thorns and honey wears a sting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Roses grow on thorns and honey wears a sting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The guilty is he who meditates a crime; the punishment is his who lays the plot. [It., Il reo  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10649]]></link><description><![CDATA[The guilty is he who meditates a crime; the punishment is his who lays the plot. [It., Il reo  D'un delitto e chi'l pensa: a chi l' ordisce   La pena spetta.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist.
