To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never awake me when you have good news to announce, because with good news nothing presses; but when you have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never awake me when you have good news to announce, because with good news nothing presses; but when you have bad news, arouse me immediately, for then there is not an instant to be lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rest strengthens the body, the mind too is thus supported; but unremitting toil destroys both. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rest strengthens the body, the mind too is thus supported; but unremitting toil destroys both.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A desire can overcome all objections and obstacles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22526]]></link><description><![CDATA[A desire can overcome all objections and obstacles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66623]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Local production will make our position even stronger since we can offer our main volume model at a very competitive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Local production will make our position even stronger since we can offer our main volume model at a very competitive price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things do not happen.

Take the "obvious things" about Christ as listed by a contemporary minister:  He was a popular and controversial preacher; He gathered a group of followers; He spent most of his time with the disinherited; He taught with authority; He never married; He never (so far as we know) held a job; He did not participate in public affairs; He did not have income, property, or an address; He was in bitter and frequent conflict with the religious and political authorities; He seemed to expect that the world would be eminently, radically, and supernaturally transformed; He attacked the traditions and values of his own people; He practically forced the authorities to prosecute and execute him. There is nothing exclusively religious, much less Christian, in this description, which, with a few exceptions, might apply also to Socrates or to "Che" Guevara. I asked many socially oriented ministers why they were Christians at all. Some said through faith, and some said that Christianity gave them courage and the motivation to endure (but so do other beliefs). Some said they hardly knew and that, if another, more acceptable, ideology came along, they would embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To me faith means not worrying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14988]]></link><description><![CDATA[To me faith means not worrying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Begging a courtesy is selling liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Begging a courtesy is selling liberty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind in never weary;  The vine still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52936]]></link><description><![CDATA[The day is cold, and dark, and dreary; It rains, and the wind in never weary;  The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,   But at every gust the dead leaves fall,    And the day is dark and dreary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46234]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Pedro:) Your silence most offends me, and to be merry best becomes you for out o' question you were born ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27425]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Pedro:) Your silence most offends me, and to be merry best becomes you for out o' question you were born in a merry hour. (Beatrice:) No, sure, my lord, my mother cried; but then there was a star danced, and under that was I born.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people hear good music, it makes them homesick for something they never had, and never will have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43420]]></link><description><![CDATA[When people hear good music, it makes them homesick for something they never had, and never will have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  It is for Christ's sake that we believe in the Scriptures, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  It is for Christ's sake that we believe in the Scriptures, but it is not for the Scriptures' sake that we believe in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The envious only hate the excellence they cannot reach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52440]]></link><description><![CDATA[The envious only hate the excellence they cannot reach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's dying is more the survivors' affair than his own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11182]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's dying is more the survivors' affair than his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["What sets worlds in motion is the interplay of differences, their attractions and repulsions.
