Evelyn Underhill November 30, 1996 Andrew the Apostle  With his continual doctrine [Bishop Hooper] adjoined due and discreet correction, not so much severe to any as to them which for abundance of riches and wealthy state thought they might do what they listed. And doubtless he spared no kind of people, but was indifferent to all men, as well rich as poor, to the great shame of no small number of men nowadays.

This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little curly-headed, good-for-nothing, And mischief-making monkey from his birth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5901]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little curly-headed, good-for-nothing, And mischief-making monkey from his birth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One hand washeth another, and both the face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49693]]></link><description><![CDATA[One hand washeth another, and both the face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth. -Peter Ustinov. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth. -Peter Ustinov.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2411]]></link><description><![CDATA[When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such Principles and and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. . . .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sleep...
