It is almost as offensive to modern man, brought up in the atmosphere of relativism, in which tolerance is regarded almost as the highest of the virtues. But we must not suppose that this claim to universal validity is something that can quietly be removed from the Gospel without changing it into something entirely different from what it is... Jesus' life, his method, and his message do not make sense, unless they are interpreted in the light of his own conviction that he was in fact the final and decisive word of God to men... For the human sickness there is one specific remedy, and this is it. There is no other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are seeing a lot of new buying of the Canadian dollar.

The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers your scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is a form of government that substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy is a form of government that substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The U.S. case is more important because of the economic implications.
