Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60231]]></link><description><![CDATA[To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The commonest objection to birth control is that it is against nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4278]]></link><description><![CDATA[The commonest objection to birth control is that it is against nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever wants to be a leader should educate himself before educating others.

If there is no difference between Jew and Gentile, does all the great past of Israel go for nothing? Do all the promises of Scripture go for nothing? First, let me say how bitterly I regret the exclusion of the Jewish nation as a body from the new life. I would surrender all my Christian privileges if I could find a way to bring them in. But we must recognize facts; and the first fact is that the nation as a whole never was able to claim the promises; from the beginning, there was a process of selection. Of the sons of Abraham, Isaac alone was called; of the sons of Isaac, Jacob only. If we ask why, there is no answer save that God is bound by no natural or historical necessity, but intervenes according to His will. To question that will is as absurd as for the pot to arraign the potter. Then again, while some members of the Hebrew race have always fallen out, always God has declared His purpose ultimately to include others, not members of the Hebrew race--and that is just what is now happening. Now, as I said, I desire nothing more earnestly than that the whole nation should be saved. But the fact is that they have deliberately rejected the chance that was offered them. There is nothing remote or abstruse about the Christian message. It is a very simple thing: acknowledge Jesus as Lord, and believe that He is alive; that is all. And they cannot say that they have never heard the message, for Christ has His witnesses everywhere. It looks, then, as if God had rejected His people, as punishment for their obstinacy. I do not believe it. God's promises cannot go for nothing. In the first place, there has always been, and there still is, a faithful remnant of the Jewish people. And in the second place, as for the main body, their present rejection of the message is only a means in God's Providence for its extension to the Gentiles. The old olive-tree of Israel stands yet; many of its branches have been lopped off, and new branches of wild olive have been engrafted in their place. But God can engraft the lopped branches on again, if it be His will; and I believe it is His will, and that in the end the whole nation will return to Him and inherit the promises. And if the failure of Israel has meant such blessing to the world, how much greater blessing will its ultimate salvation bring! God's purpose, as I said at the beginning (Rom. 1:16), is universal: He has permitted the whole of humanity, Jew and Gentile alike, to fall under sin, only in order that He may finally have mercy on the whole of humanity, Jew and Gentile alike. How profound and unsearchable are His plans! (Rom. 9:1-11:36)  So now I can take up again my main argument. If this is the way of God's dealing with us, what ought to be our response? Can we do less than offer our entire selves to God as a sacrifice of thanksgiving? How will that work out? In a life lived as by members of one single body. Let each perform his part faithfully. Let love rule all your relations one to another, and to those outside, even to your enemies. Do not regard the Emperor as outside the scope of love, but obey his laws and pay his taxes. Yes, and pay all debts to every one. Love is, in fact, the one comprehensive debt of man to man. If you love your neighbour as yourself, you have fulfilled the whole moral law. But be in earnest about things, for the better day is already dawning. (Rom. 12:1-13:14)  I hear you have differences among yourselves about Sabbath-keeping and vegetarianism. Take this matter, then, as an example of what I mean by the application of brotherly love to all conduct. Remember that the Sabbatarian and the anti-Sabbatarian, the vegetarian and the meat-eater, are alike servants of one Master. Give each other credit for the best motives. Do not think of yourself alone; think of your Christian brother, and try to put yourself in his place. If he seems to you a weak-minded, over-scrupulous individual, remember that in any case he is your brother, and that Christ died for him as well as for you, and reverence his conscience. If through your example he should do an act which is harmless in you but sin to him, you have injured his conscience. Is it worth while so to imperil a soul for the sake of your liberty in such external matters? If the other man is weak-minded, and you strong-minded, all the more reason why you should help to bear his burden. Remember, Christ did not please Himself. In a word, Sabbatarian and anti-Sabbatarian, Jew and Gentile, treat one another as Christ has treated you, and God be with you. (Rom. 14:1-15:13)  Well, friends, I hardly think you needed this long exhortation from me. You are intelligent Christians, and well able to give one another good advice. Still, I thought I might venture to remind you of a few points ; for after all, I do feel a measure of responsibility for you, as missionary to the Gentiles. I have now accomplished my mission as far West as the Adriatic. Now I am going to Jerusalem to hand over the relief fund we have raised in Greece. After that I hope to start work in the West, and I propose to set out for Spain and take Rome on my way. Pray for me, that my errand to Jerusalem may be successful, so that I may be free to visit you. (Rom. 15:14-33)  I wish to introduce to you our friend Phoebe. She renders admirable service to our congregation at Cenchrea. Do all you can for her; she deserves it.  Kind regards to Priscilla and Aquila, Epaenetus, Mary, and all friends in Rome.   (P.S.--Beware of folk who make mischief. Be wise; be gentle; and all good be with you.)  Timothy, Lucius, Jason, Sosipater, and all friends at Corinth send kind regards. (So do I--Tertius, amanuensis!)  Glory be to God!  With all good wishes,  Your brother,  PAUL, Missionary of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are slumberous poppies, Lords of Lethe downs,  Some awake and some asleep,   Sleeping in our crowns. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47683]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are slumberous poppies, Lords of Lethe downs,  Some awake and some asleep,   Sleeping in our crowns.    What perchance our dreams may know,     Let our serious may know.   - Leigh Hunt (James Henry Leigh Hunt),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't cheat the public for long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5821]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't cheat the public for long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudence in action avails more than wisdom in conception. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudence in action avails more than wisdom in conception.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man must serve his time to every trade Save censure--critics all are ready made.  Take hackney'd jokes from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10728]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man must serve his time to every trade Save censure--critics all are ready made.  Take hackney'd jokes from Miller, got by rote,   With just enough of learning to misquote;    A mind well skill'd to find or forge a fault;     A turn for punning, call it Attic salt;      To Jeffrey go, be silent and discreet,       His pay is just ten sterling pounds per sheet;        Fear not to lie, 'twill seem a lucky hit;         Shrink not from blasphemy, 'twill pass for wit;          Care not for feeling--pass your proper jest,           And stand a critic, hated yet caress'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  So long as we are full of self, we are shocked ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  So long as we are full of self, we are shocked at the faults of others.
