These paintings, these poems, and these demonstrations... are the expression of men who are struggling with their appalling lostness. Dare we laugh at such things? Dare we feel superior when we view their tortured expressions in their art? Christians should stop laughing and take such men seriously. Then we shall have the right to speak again to our generation. These men are dying while they live, yet where is our compassion for them? There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maud Muller looked and sighed: :Ah me! That I the Judge's bride might be!  He would dress me up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maud Muller looked and sighed: :Ah me! That I the Judge's bride might be!  He would dress me up in silks so fine,   And praise and toast me at his wine."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to see children before anyone commits a crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39426]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to see children before anyone commits a crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45772]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who seeks for heaven alone to save his soul, May keep the path, but will not reach the goal; While ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who seeks for heaven alone to save his soul, May keep the path, but will not reach the goal; While he who walks in love may wander far, But God will bring him where the Blessed are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If fame is only to come after death, I am in no hurry for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15129]]></link><description><![CDATA[If fame is only to come after death, I am in no hurry for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasure blinds (so to speak) the eyes of the mind, and has no fellowship with virtue. [Lat., Voluptas mentis (ut ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasure blinds (so to speak) the eyes of the mind, and has no fellowship with virtue. [Lat., Voluptas mentis (ut ita dicam) praestringit oculos, nec habet ullum cum virtute commercium.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most recently Senator Ken Salazar has said he's going to try and see what he can do, ...

Though there was a little superstition in this, yet truly there is nothing but good religion in it, if we apply it to men. Trample not on any; there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of.
