The gates have been opened to evil in part because of a terrible discrepancy between human ideals and actual possibilities -- terrible heresies concerning the nature of man and the structure of the historical universe. Christianity, even if it cannot persuade men to rise to the contemplation of the spiritual things, embodies principles which may at least have the effect of bringing the dreamers down to earth. Because it confronts the problem of human sin, it can face our difficulties and dilemmas without evasions -- without the fundamental evasiveness of those who believe that all would be well with the world if it were not for a few unspeakable criminals, always conveniently identified with the political enemy of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sad dislike those who are cheerful, and the cheerful dislike the melancholy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50355]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sad dislike those who are cheerful, and the cheerful dislike the melancholy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Light Winged Smoke Lightwinged Smoke, Icarian bird, Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight, Lark without song, and the messenger ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54121]]></link><description><![CDATA[Light Winged Smoke Lightwinged Smoke, Icarian bird, Melting thy pinions in thy upward flight, Lark without song, and the messenger of dawn, Circling above the hamlets as thy nest; Or else, departing dream, and shadowy form Of midnight vision, gathering up thy skirts; By night star-veiling, and by day Darkening the light and blotting out the sun; Go thou my incense upward from this hearth, And ask the gods to pardon this clear flame.-Henry David Thoreau-.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest incitement to guilt is the hope of sinning with impunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18501]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest incitement to guilt is the hope of sinning with impunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But no one should have the right to manipulate my films in the first place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32686]]></link><description><![CDATA[But no one should have the right to manipulate my films in the first place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If things look badly to-day they may look better tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50265]]></link><description><![CDATA[If things look badly to-day they may look better tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simplicity is the outward sign and symbol of depth of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simplicity is the outward sign and symbol of depth of thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The brave man is not he who feels no fear.

But if the other members also have sinned, why should they not fast, too... Let the eye fast from strange sights and from every wantonness, so that that which roamed in freedom in fault-doing may, abundantly humbled, be checked by penitence. Let the ear, blameably eager to listen, fast from tales and rumors, and from whatsoever is of idle import, and tendeth least to salvation. Let the tongue fast from slanders and murmurings, and from useless, vain, and scurrilous words, and sometimes also, in the seriousness of silence, even from things which may seem of essential import. Let the hand abstain from ... all toils which are not imperatively necessary. But also let the soul herself abstain from all evils and from acting out her own will. For without such abstinence the other things find no favor with the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a world we find terrifying, we ratify that which doesn't threaten us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21044]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a world we find terrifying, we ratify that which doesn't threaten us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52733]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our friends, the enemy. [Fr., Nos amis, les ennemis.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13839]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our friends, the enemy. [Fr., Nos amis, les ennemis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [It., Lasciate ogni speranza ch'entrate.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19780]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. [It., Lasciate ogni speranza ch'entrate.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is our task?
