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[I run him over, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29483]]></link><description><![CDATA[I run him over,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Attitudes are more important than facts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3446]]></link><description><![CDATA[Attitudes are more important than facts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25899]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who commence deliberately.

And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice. He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief than against sin and wickedness in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't go to work unless I feel I really have a story that would be interesting to tell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29600]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't go to work unless I feel I really have a story that would be interesting to tell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman isn't complete without a man.
