In the time at their disposal, it was just not worth while. Perhaps the best hope of reviving the Christian religion would be to convince the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and other dignitaries likewise, that the world will shortly be coming to an end. A difficult undertaking, I fear, notwithstanding much evidence pointing that way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am pleased to return to finish the job that is undone.

It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will create a substantial plume, excavate a bunch of material, some of which we believe may be water ice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32595]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will create a substantial plume, excavate a bunch of material, some of which we believe may be water ice and be able to measure that directly as the plume is created, and a great opportunity to really understand what we have there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The (communications) intercepts from NSA were the ultimate proof that an attack had taken place on August 4 ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42191]]></link><description><![CDATA[The (communications) intercepts from NSA were the ultimate proof that an attack had taken place on August 4]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suffer and expect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49772]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suffer and expect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must be ready, indeed eager, to see God's Name being hallowed outside the Church as well as inside.

It may be that today the philosopher is honouring the Name af God when he insists that we should know what we mean when we utter our religious language and that we should be ready to have that meaning tested. It may be that other philosophers hallow the Name when they refuse to allow us to withdraw it to some supernatural realm, but insist on wrestling with the unknown God in the agony and joy of existence, crying with Jacob, "Tell me, I pray thee, thy Name." And is not the scientist honouring the Name when he patiently and obediently follows where the evidence leads? Or the social scientist when he asks us to understand what is before we begin pronouncing what ought to be? God does not spend all His time in Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is certain when it comes to the ways of women, of that I'm sure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is certain when it comes to the ways of women, of that I'm sure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Estate in two parishes is bread in two wallets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Estate in two parishes is bread in two wallets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus happiness depends, as nature shows, less on exterior things than most suppose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus happiness depends, as nature shows, less on exterior things than most suppose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason.
