Prosperity has power to intoxicate the imagination, to fix the mind upon the present scene, to produce confidence and elation, and to make him who enjoys affluence and honors forget the hand by which they were bestowed. It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906  Most Christians live in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906  Most Christians live in confusion in regard to their scales of values and priorities. Many honest Christian people experience the shock of a revelation when they are brought to realize that their membership of the Church constitutes a loyalty prior to their loyalty to the nation to which they belong. Patriotism is one of the powerful underground pseudo-religions of to-day, not merely nationalism. The fundamental notion that the Christians are a "peculiar people" that never is identical, or even can be, with a people in the biological, national sense of the word, is largely asleep. It can only become awake by a new grasp of the biblical truth that the Church is the "people of God", an elect race composed of people out of all nations, transcending all nations and races.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're more than ready to go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36152]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're more than ready to go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The remedy for wrongs is to forget them. [Lat., Injuriarum remedium est oblivio.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62461]]></link><description><![CDATA[The remedy for wrongs is to forget them. [Lat., Injuriarum remedium est oblivio.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From Helicon's harmonious springs A thousand rills their mazy progress take. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4920]]></link><description><![CDATA[From Helicon's harmonious springs A thousand rills their mazy progress take.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll therefore relish with content, Whate'er kind providence has sent,  Nor aim beyond our pow'r;   For, if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9942]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll therefore relish with content, Whate'er kind providence has sent,  Nor aim beyond our pow'r;   For, if our stock be very small,    'Tis prudent to enjoy it all,     Nor lose the present hour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let them hate so long as they fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let them hate so long as they fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many plays-certainly mine-are like blank checks.

No reader of the gospel story can fail to be impressed by Jesus' humble submission to the will of his God on the one hand, and his mastery of all situations on the other; by his penetrating discernment of human motives and his authoritative demand of radical obedience on the one hand, and his gracious, forgiving acceptance of sinners on the other. There is nothing, either in the Messianic hopes of pre-Christian Judaism or in the later Messianic beliefs of the early Christian Church to account for this portrait. It is characterized by an originality and freshness which is beyond the power of invention.

What it did was to guarantee that the old morality was actually valid, and the old beliefs literally true. "Ye worship ye know not what, but we know what we worship," "that which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled" -- "He suffered under Pontius Pilate." God died -- not in a legend, not in a symbol, not in a distant past nor in a realm unknown, but here, [in the crucifiction of Christ]; the whole great cloudy castle of natural religion and poetic prophecy is brought down to earth and firmly cemented upon that angular and solid cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
