Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...The purpose of man's life...is to become an abject zombie who serves a purpose he does not know, for reasons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62681]]></link><description><![CDATA[...The purpose of man's life...is to become an abject zombie who serves a purpose he does not know, for reasons he is not to question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without publicity there can be no public support, and without public support every nation must decay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without publicity there can be no public support, and without public support every nation must decay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I depart, Whither I know not; but the hour's gone by  When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59611]]></link><description><![CDATA[I depart, Whither I know not; but the hour's gone by  When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad mine eye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature, like man, sometimes weeps from gladness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature, like man, sometimes weeps from gladness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense that we respect his theory that his wife ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53495]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom of conscience entails more dangers than authority and despotism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits the all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits the all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ignorance is innocence - stupidity comes with experience ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20397]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ignorance is innocence - stupidity comes with experience]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving one's self, and one always ends by deceiving others.

Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah me, why did they build my house by the road to the market town? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah me, why did they build my house by the road to the market town?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best principles of our republic secure to all its citizens a perfect equality of rights. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8792]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best principles of our republic secure to all its citizens a perfect equality of rights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gay, sprightly, land of mirth and social ease Pleased with thyself, whom all the world can please. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gay, sprightly, land of mirth and social ease Pleased with thyself, whom all the world can please.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The presence of a long-term, conscious goal has helped me maintain stability through the ubiquitous changes of over half a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21253]]></link><description><![CDATA[The presence of a long-term, conscious goal has helped me maintain stability through the ubiquitous changes of over half a century.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is simply common sense at its best--that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is simply common sense at its best--that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is not every meanest day the confluence of two eternities? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11131]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is not every meanest day the confluence of two eternities?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow if tomorrow might improve the odds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow if tomorrow might improve the odds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should wage war not to win war, but to win peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60615]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should wage war not to win war, but to win peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Attempt the end and never stand to doubt; Nothing's so hard, but search will find it out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Attempt the end and never stand to doubt; Nothing's so hard, but search will find it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus, I steer my bark, and sail On even keel, with gentle gale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus, I steer my bark, and sail On even keel, with gentle gale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want people to think that this was for nothing.

The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were simply outsized.
