If anyone thinks this is perilous and revolutionary teaching, so much the better. That is exactly what they thought of the teaching of Jesus Christ. The light He brought to bear upon human affairs is almost unbearably brilliant: but it is the light of Truth, and in that light human problems can be solved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace rules the day, where reason rules the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace rules the day, where reason rules the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48292]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they come after you with machetes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38302]]></link><description><![CDATA[May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379   All angels, all saints, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379   All angels, all saints, all the devils, all the world shall know all the deeds that ever thou didest, though thou have been shriven of them and contrite.
