A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You feel bad about it for a while.

However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Automakers are still cheap relative to their earnings outlook. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Automakers are still cheap relative to their earnings outlook.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16996]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of all men than all the infidelity that has ever ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Division has done more to hide Christ from the view of all men than all the infidelity that has ever been spoken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes.

For if we do not trust as much as we pray, we fail in full worship to our Lord in our prayer; and also we hinder and hurt ourselves. The reason is that we do not know truly that our Lord is the ground from which our prayer springeth; nor do we know that it is given us by his grace and his love. If we knew this, it would make us trust to have of our Lord's gifts all that we desire. For I am sure that no man asketh mercy and grace with sincerity, without mercy and grace being given to him first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have heard professing Christians of our own day speak as though the historicity of the Gospels does not matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7791]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have heard professing Christians of our own day speak as though the historicity of the Gospels does not matter -- all that matters is the contemporary Spirit of Christ. I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63571]]></link><description><![CDATA[For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody has a little bit of Watergate in him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody has a little bit of Watergate in him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I mean, so what?, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38879]]></link><description><![CDATA[I mean, so what?,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is intensity.
