Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What else is the meaning of our present chaos, of humanity in sorrow, but this: that contemporary man is tried ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6694]]></link><description><![CDATA[What else is the meaning of our present chaos, of humanity in sorrow, but this: that contemporary man is tried before the bar of the Eternal, and found wanting? Nor can any nation survive, or re-establish lasting peace, if it rests on those foundations on which contemporary nations have been built, our own included. What are those crumbling foundations? Conceit, self-will, denial of discipline, self-expressionism, secularism, this worldliness, greed, entrenched privilege, defiance of God's desire. On base absurdities have we built. Have we now moral courage to face our common sin, or are we content to trust in one form of armed wickedness to overcome the evils of another form of the same mad folly? Merely by smashing our enemies we shall not remake the world. By Beelzebub no devils are cast out...
