It is that we remember not to consider men's evil intention but to look upon the image of God in them, which cancels and effaces their transgressions, and with its beauty and dignity allures us to love and embrace them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it caught them by surprise, and they didn't have an answer for it.

The Holy Spirit supports our helplessness. Left to ourselves we do not know what prayers to offer or how to offer them. But in those inarticulate groans which rise from the depth of our being, we recognize the voice of none other than the Holy Spirit. He makes intercession; and His intercession is sure to be answered. For God Who searches the inmost recesses of the heart can interpret His own Spirit's meaning. He knows that His own Will regulates Its petitions, and that they are offered for men dedicated to His service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42808]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no exemption for Germany, and we will consider the case, as well as the French case, later, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38000]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no exemption for Germany, and we will consider the case, as well as the French case, later,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's sin and not poverty that makes men miserable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56411]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's sin and not poverty that makes men miserable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some great men owe most of their greatness to the ability of detecting in those they destine for their tools ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15933]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some great men owe most of their greatness to the ability of detecting in those they destine for their tools the exact quality of strength that matters for their work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's interesting because it's unusual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35919]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's interesting because it's unusual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loveliest of lovely things are they On earth, that soonest pass away.

The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5812]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our policy with non-roster guys is that they be added after the workout (Sunday). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our policy with non-roster guys is that they be added after the workout (Sunday).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cloning of a human being is intuitively and properly viewed with almost uniform horror, because replication of a human by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35580]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cloning of a human being is intuitively and properly viewed with almost uniform horror, because replication of a human by cloning would radically alter the very definition of what a human being is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know so well what the unique quality was that held this great and beautiful pride and exquisite humility together. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6898]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know so well what the unique quality was that held this great and beautiful pride and exquisite humility together. It lay in the relationship he held with God. We know the familiar idea of Jesus' oneness with God: only we deal with it too much as a doctrine of the Church, not as an element in Jesus' own experience. If we never find it in reality, in life, we cannot reveal the true Christ-like character at all -- we will always be trying earnestly to be something, but on too superficial and obvious a plane.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn June 28, 1996 Feast of Irenêus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  The Church exists, and does not depend for its existence upon our definition of it: it exists wherever God in His sovereign freedom calls it into being by calling his own into the fellowship of His Son. And it exists solely by His mercy. God shuts up and will shut up every way except the way of faith which simply accepts His mercy as mercy. To that end, He is free to break off unbelieving branches, to graft in wild slips, and to call "No people" His people. And if, at the end, those who have preserved through all the centuries the visible "marks" of the Church find themselves at the same board with some strange and uncouth late-comers on the ecclesiastical scene, may we not fancy that they will hear Him say -- would it not be so like him to say -- "It is my will to give unto these last even as unto thee"? Final judgement belongs to God, and we have to beware of judging before the time. I think that if we refuse fellowship in Christ to any body of men and women who accept Jesus as Lord and show the fruits of His Spirit in their corporate life, we do so at our peril. It behooves us, therefore, to receive one another as Christ has received us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charm ache with air, and agony with words. -Much Ado about Nothing.
