The time came when the Church had ceased to grow, except externally in wealth, power, and prestige; and these are mere outward adornments, or hampering burdens, very likely. They do not imply growth or creativeness. The time came when dogmatism, tyranny, and ignorance strangled the free intellectual activity of the Church, and worldliness destroyed its moral fruitfulness. Then joy spread her wings and flew away. The Christian graces care nothing for names and labels; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there they abide, but not in great Churches that have forgotten Him. How little of joy there is in the character of the religious bigot or fanatic, or in the prudent ecclesiastical statesman! A show of cheerfulness they may cultivate, as they often do; but it is like the crackling of thorns under a pot: we cannot mistake it for the joy of the Lord which is the strength of the true Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For he as studious--of his ease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58038]]></link><description><![CDATA[For he as studious--of his ease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Examine what is said, not him who speaks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Examine what is said, not him who speaks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17952]]></link><description><![CDATA[So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who know nothing of foreign languages, knows nothing of their own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who know nothing of foreign languages, knows nothing of their own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Scholastica, Abbess of Plombariola, c.543  All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Scholastica, Abbess of Plombariola, c.543  All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired, although not in the hour or in the measure, or the very thing which they ask; yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they had dared to ask.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there was one thing all the losses in her life had taught her it was that life was short, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66100]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there was one thing all the losses in her life had taught her it was that life was short, fleeting, and way too precious to waste waiting around for happiness to hit you over the head and make itself known.

They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of ill judgment oft ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men of ill judgment oft ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no permanent changes because change itself is permanent.
