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.

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[Maundy Thursday  Perhaps we feel that we do not see much to encourage us.

"I do not envy those who have to fight the battle of Christianity in the twentieth century," wrote Marcus Dods. "Yes, perhaps I do; but it will be a stiff fight." Of course, he did, and anybody with his valiant spirit would. There was a day when our Lord passed through cheering streets wildly enthusiastic; and another day when He watched the crowds deserting Him, till even the disciples themselves seemed to be withering, and He looked at them sadly. "Will you also go away?" He said. And Peter strode across the sudden empty spaces widening around Him, and put his back to Christ's. "No", he cried; "there are two of us, at least", and faced the world, Christ's poor minority of one. I would rather have been Peter than one of the shouting mob. And today, perhaps, we may get our chance of that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You held out your hand, and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing.
