When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26054]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and the Horse AN ASS besought a Horse to spare him a small portion of his feed. Yes, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1503]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ass and the Horse AN ASS besought a Horse to spare him a small portion of his feed. Yes, said the Horse; if any remains out of what I am noweating I will give it you for the sake of my own superiordignity, and if you will come when I reach my own stall in theevening, I will give you a little sack full of barley.

Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us.
