To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will be served must bee patient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49407]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will be served must bee patient.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people play very, very well just so they won't get embarrassed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people play very, very well just so they won't get embarrassed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a case of surviving.

It does not love him because he is such-and-such a person but because he is there. In all this it is quite the opposite of natural love: it "does not seek its own". It does not perform the characteristic natural impulse of love and life. Therefore it is basically independent of the conduct of the other person; it is not conditional but absolute. It wants nothing for itself but only for others. Therefore it is also not vulnerable. It never "reacts" but is always "spontaneous", emerging by its own strength -- rather, from the power of God. Love is the real God-likeness of man for which he has been created. In so far as love is in man he really resembles God and shows himself to be the child of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sacred lamp of day Now dipt in western clouds his parting day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58328]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sacred lamp of day Now dipt in western clouds his parting day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All was false and hollow, though his tongue Dropt manna, and could make the worst appear  The better reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50648]]></link><description><![CDATA[All was false and hollow, though his tongue Dropt manna, and could make the worst appear  The better reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65317]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56927]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you good men and true? -Much Ado about Nothing.
