Christianity fails because people will keep on the surface too much, they will not go down to face these deep inner obediences; and that is ultimately to be beaten by themselves. We talk big and play so small. And the world has found it out --the great bulk have discarded Christianity as the way of Hope and put their hope in other things.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  September 26, 1998  Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Even those of us who are inside it will agree that, in the main, the Church and all for which it stands occupy a palpably smaller place in the life of the average member than it did in former days. We explain it on the ground that life has become fuller, and that, of necessity, our attention nowadays has to percolate over a wide area instead of rushing foam-flecked down a narrower channel -- which is to say, in other words, that Christ is getting lost to us in the crush and throng of things, does not loom up as arresting, as unique, as all-important, as He did to our forefathers. Yet that, when you come to think of it, is no bad definition of unspirituality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Congress is so strange.

Was I not a man of faith and a man of action in one skin? Why are the faithful so afraid of deeds for fear they should fall into 'Justification by works'? And why is Thy Church so uncomfortable with its men of action? And why do men of spirit so often have to work apart from, and even against it? Are there no longer kingdoms to be conquered, injustice to be destroyed, promises to be obtained? The Son of David is a warrior still. Must He tread the winepress alone?".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20370]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation's life is about as long as its reverential memory ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43733]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation's life is about as long as its reverential memory]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873  This is the age of the conference and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873  This is the age of the conference and study group -- people talking about what they know they should be doing. In a subtle way, talking about something becomes an excuse for not doing it. This new bolt-hole of the conference and study group is not confined to the local congregation. It is a painful fact of life in the central structures of the churches. We have a welter of reports, commissions, surveys, liaison bodies, and so on. They have the appearance of progressive thinking and readiness to face change, combined with the function of being delaying devices. They are the sacraments of current Christianity, and its dilemma. Outreach is a move from power structures to meekness structures, and, in spite of the fact that Christians believe that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, they show (as in the ecumenical movement) a distinct reluctance to relinquish power-structure thinking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45525]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eric was in control the entire match. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eric was in control the entire match.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God moves in a mysterious way,  His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea,  And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61968]]></link><description><![CDATA[God moves in a mysterious way,  His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea,  And rides upon the storm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hundred thousand men were led By one calf near three centuries dead;  They followed still his crooked way ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4780]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hundred thousand men were led By one calf near three centuries dead;  They followed still his crooked way   And lost a hundred years a day;    For thus such reverence is lent     To well established precedent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's eyes are what one is, one's mouth is what one becomes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66238]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's eyes are what one is, one's mouth is what one becomes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep quiet and people will think you a philosopher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep quiet and people will think you a philosopher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ships that sailed for sunny isles, But never came to shore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ships that sailed for sunny isles, But never came to shore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We lean on Faith; and some less wise have cried, "Behold the butterfly, the see that's cast!"  Vain hopes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14970]]></link><description><![CDATA[We lean on Faith; and some less wise have cried, "Behold the butterfly, the see that's cast!"  Vain hopes that fall like flowers before the blast!   What man can look on Death unterrified?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have started enriching uranium to the 3.5 percent level. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35719]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have started enriching uranium to the 3.5 percent level.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64170]]></link><description><![CDATA[Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dance is for everybody.

You see, gentlemen, how I would answer that question. You are deceived in thinking that the morality of your father was based on Christianity. On the contrary, Christianity presupposed it. That morality stands exactly where it did; its basis has not been withdrawn, for, in a sense, it never had a basis. The ultimate ethical injunctions have always been premises, never conclusions. Kant was perfectly right on that point at least, the imperative is categorical. Unless the ethical is assumed from the outset, no argument will bring you to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After Death the Doctor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49092]]></link><description><![CDATA[After Death the Doctor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liar is always lavish of oaths. [Fr., Un menteur est toujours prodigue de serments.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26119]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liar is always lavish of oaths. [Fr., Un menteur est toujours prodigue de serments.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not necessary to change.
