A lofty spirit excites admiration by its profoundness; but only a right spirit achieves salvation and happiness by its stability and integrity. Do not conform your ideas to those of the world. Scorn the "intellectual" as much as the world esteems it. What men consider intellectual is a certain facility to produce brilliant thoughts. Nothing is more vain. We make an idol of our intellect as a woman who believes herself beautiful worships her face. We take pride in our own thoughts. We must reject not only human cleverness, but also human prudence, which seems so important and so profitable. Then we may enter -- like little children, with candor and innocence of worldly ways -- into the simplicity of faith; and with humility and a horror of sin we may enter into the holy passion of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Collective judgement of new ideas is so often wrong that it is arguable that progress depends on individuals being free ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52073]]></link><description><![CDATA[Collective judgement of new ideas is so often wrong that it is arguable that progress depends on individuals being free to back their own judgement despite collective disapproval.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even in a day of overdone distinctions, one might point out that interpretations are not properly to be classified as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even in a day of overdone distinctions, one might point out that interpretations are not properly to be classified as historical or dogmatic, but as true or false.

The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We lost because we told ourselves we lost ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25553]]></link><description><![CDATA[We lost because we told ourselves we lost]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25553</guid></item></channel></rss>
