The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200  The Way is not a religion: Christianity is the end ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6595]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200  The Way is not a religion: Christianity is the end of religion.

The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cooking is like love.
