But the end of wisdom, the new law, is, "Thou shalt." To be Christian is to be old? Not a bit of it. To be Christian is to be reborn, and free, and unafraid, and immortally young.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I heard the trailing garments of the Night Sweep through her marble halls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44531]]></link><description><![CDATA[I heard the trailing garments of the Night Sweep through her marble halls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944  There is no hope of establishing a Christian social order ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944  There is no hope of establishing a Christian social order except through the labour and sacrifice of those in whom the Spirit of Christ is active.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a trader-dominated society, the scribe is usually kept out of the management of affairs, but it given a more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15795]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a trader-dominated society, the scribe is usually kept out of the management of affairs, but it given a more or less free hand in the cultural field.

The sensitive visitor to the mesas of Los Alamos is almost sure to meditate on the experience of that gifted man, Klaus Fuchs. Though his work in the laboratories was outstanding, his decision concerning the use of what he knew was disastrous. What if, in addition to his scientific competence, the younger Fuchs had shared something of the Christian conviction of his father, Emil Fuchs? Much of the subsequent history of our earth might then have been different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and His Shadow A TRAVELER hired an Ass to convey him to a distant place.

Theday being intensely hot, and the sun shining in its strength, theTraveler stopped to rest, and sought shelter from the heat underthe Shadow of the Ass. As this afforded only protection for one,and as the Traveler and the owner of the Ass both claimed it, aviolent dispute arose between them as to which of them had theright to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let theAss only, and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had,with the hire of the Ass, hired his Shadow also. The quarrelproceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the Assgalloped off. In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men have made an idol of luck as an excuse for their own thoughtlessness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men have made an idol of luck as an excuse for their own thoughtlessness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The two most misused words in the entire English vocabulary are love and friendship.

But man, being himself a part of fallen nature and subject to its disordered properties, is not allowed to work with them, because it would be stirring up evil in himself, and that is his sin of wrath or revenge. God therefore reserves all vengeance to Himself, not because wrathful revenge is a temper or quality that can have any place in the holy Deity, but because the holy supernatural Deity, being free from all the properties of nature, whence partial love and hatred spring, and being in Himself nothing but an infinity of love, wisdom, and goodness, He alone knows how to overrule the disorders of nature, and so to repay evil with evil, that the highest good may be promoted by it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One realizes the full importance of time only when there is little of it left.

But depend upon it, they do not by adding these words, or any words, bring it about that their prayers should be in the name of Christ. To pray in the name of Christ means to pray in such a way as represents Christ. The representative always must speak in the spirit and meaning of those for whom he speaks. If Christ is our representative, that must be because He speaks our wishes, or what we ought to make our wishes; and if we are to pray in the name of Christ, that means that we are, however far off, expressing His wishes and intentions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The United States was foundedby the violent overthrowof a violently founded throne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24287]]></link><description><![CDATA[The United States was foundedby the violent overthrowof a violently founded throne.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding.
