They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess, than to be praised ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47998]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess, than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Certain brief sentences are peerless in their ability to give one the feeling that nothing remains to be said ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Certain brief sentences are peerless in their ability to give one the feeling that nothing remains to be said]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew about their protest and had taken precautionary steps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41367]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew about their protest and had taken precautionary steps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moderation, which consists in an indifference about little things, and in a prudent and well-proportioned zeal about things of importance, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Moderation, which consists in an indifference about little things, and in a prudent and well-proportioned zeal about things of importance, can proceed from nothing but true knowledge, which has its foundation in self-acquaintance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His conversation does not show the minute hand; but he strikes the hour very correctly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10098]]></link><description><![CDATA[His conversation does not show the minute hand; but he strikes the hour very correctly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not blind, it sees more not less; But because it sees more it chooses to see less. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25788]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is not blind, it sees more not less; But because it sees more it chooses to see less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sister is one who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56477]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sister is one who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945   Furthermore, [the unchristian environment] is the place where we find out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8588]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945   Furthermore, [the unchristian environment] is the place where we find out whether the Christian's meditation has led him into the unreal, from which he awakens in terror when he returns to the workaday world, or whether it has led him into a real contact with God, from which he emerges strengthened and purified. Has it transported him for a moment into a spiritual ecstasy that vanishes when everyday life returns, or has it lodged the Word of God so securely and deeply in his heart that it holds and fortifies him, impelling him to active love, to obedience, to good works?
