A lofty spirit excites admiration by its profoundness; but only a right spirit achieves salvation and happiness by its stability and integrity. Do not conform your ideas to those of the world. Scorn the "intellectual" as much as the world esteems it. What men consider intellectual is a certain facility to produce brilliant thoughts. Nothing is more vain. We make an idol of our intellect as a woman who believes herself beautiful worships her face. We take pride in our own thoughts. We must reject not only human cleverness, but also human prudence, which seems so important and so profitable. Then we may enter -- like little children, with candor and innocence of worldly ways -- into the simplicity of faith; and with humility and a horror of sin we may enter into the holy passion of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds.

I mean, how many leftists are animated by a quite reasonable self-loathing? In their hearts they know that they are not going to become scholars or inventors or industrialists or even ordinary good kind people. So they need a way to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous. They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is politics. In an egalitarian world everything will be controlled by politics, and politics requires no merit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16574]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  From every pulpit in the land it needs to be thundered forth that God still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of All Saints  From every pulpit in the land it needs to be thundered forth that God still lives, that God still observes, ... still reigns.

Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking. And since their organists too are equally reluctant to let any liturgical action pass without a ruminative obbligato on the Swell manual, congregations are subjected to unrelieved noise during a service which may well have begun with the reading of the sentence, "Be still, and know that I am God.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The days are too short even for love; how can there be enough time for quarreling?. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44236]]></link><description><![CDATA[The days are too short even for love; how can there be enough time for quarreling?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And rolling far along the gloomy shores The voice of days of old and days to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60926]]></link><description><![CDATA[And rolling far along the gloomy shores The voice of days of old and days to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All wonder is the effect of novelty on ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44686]]></link><description><![CDATA[All wonder is the effect of novelty on ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guilt is the price we pay willingly for doing what we are going to do anyway ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guilt is the price we pay willingly for doing what we are going to do anyway]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men expect that religion should cost them no pains, that happiness should drop into their laps without any design and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7296]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men expect that religion should cost them no pains, that happiness should drop into their laps without any design and endeavor on their part, and that, after they have done what they please while they live, God should snatch them up to heaven when they die.

But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those good men who take such pleasure in relieving the miserable for Christ's sake, would not have been less forward ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those good men who take such pleasure in relieving the miserable for Christ's sake, would not have been less forward to minister onto Christ Himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2637]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been cheering these dudes on for about 80 games now.
