Your faith is something everyone knows, for everyone knows that Christ was [crucified], and that everywhere men pray to Him. The whole world knows that His glory has not been spread by force and weapons, but by poor fishermen. 0 wise man, do you think the poor fishermen were not clever enough for this? Where they worked, there they made hearts better; where they could not work, there men remained bad; and therefore was the faith true and from God. The signs which the Lord had promised followed their teaching: in His name they drove out the devil; they spoke in new tongues; if they drank any deadly drink, they received therefrom no harm. Even if these wonders had not occurred, there would have been the wonder of wonders, that poor fishermen without any miracle could accomplish so great a work as the faith. It came from God, and so is Christ true, and Christ is thy God, who is in heaven and awaits thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like I'm putting together a jigsaw puzzle.

That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Violence in the voice is often only the death rattle of reason in the throat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Violence in the voice is often only the death rattle of reason in the throat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ounce of wit is worth a pound of sorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61806]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ounce of wit is worth a pound of sorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marxism has not only failed to promote human freedom, it has failed to produce food ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26486]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marxism has not only failed to promote human freedom, it has failed to produce food]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had that same fire and desire that we had at the beginning of the season.

And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[George Washington, with his right art upraised, sits his iron horse at the lower corner of Union Square. . . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44438]]></link><description><![CDATA[George Washington, with his right art upraised, sits his iron horse at the lower corner of Union Square. . . .
