We are bound to Him, and not He to us, because before He was loved, He loved us... There it is, then: we cannot... love Him with this first love. Yet I say that God demands of us, that as He has loved us without any second thoughts, so He should be loved by us. In what way can we do this, then? ... I tell you, through a means which he has established, by which we can love Him freely; ... that is, we can be useful, not to Him -- which is impossible -- but to our neighbor... To show the love that we have for Him, we ought to serve and love every rational creature and extend our charity to good and bad -- as much to one who does us ill service and criticizes us as to one who serves us. For, His charity extends over just men and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Victory; a matter of staying power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Victory; a matter of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's delays are not God's denials. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21624]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's delays are not God's denials.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a very good option for people out there, for severe acne when other prescription medications have not worked. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37752]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a very good option for people out there, for severe acne when other prescription medications have not worked.

To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science does not know its debt to imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science does not know its debt to imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when it comes time to play, you have to be ready.

Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly. A devil thrown out of a woman by the Archbishop of Rheims ran through the trees, pursued by a hundred persons, until the open country was reached, where by a leap higher than a church spire he escaped into a bird. A chaplain in Cromwell's army exorcised a soldier's obsessing devil by throwing the soldier into the water, when the devil came to the surface. The soldier, unfortunately, did not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us make an honourable retreat. -As You Like It. Act iii.
