Who among his disciples or among their proselytes was capable of inventing the sayings of Jesus or of imagining the life and character revealed in the Gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly not St. Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally different sort; still less the early Christian writers, in whom nothing is more evident than that the good which was in them was all derived, as they always professed that it was derived, from the higher source.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13424]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down And rest your gentle head upon her lap,  And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59937]]></link><description><![CDATA[She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down And rest your gentle head upon her lap,  And she will sing the song that pleaseth you   And on your eyelids crown the god of sleep,    Charming your brood with pleasing heaviness,     Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep      As is the difference betwixt day and night       The hour before the heavenly-harnessed team        Begins his golden progress in the east.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And be the Spartan's epitaph on me-- "Sparta hath many a worthier son than he." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14089]]></link><description><![CDATA[And be the Spartan's epitaph on me-- "Sparta hath many a worthier son than he."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessed are they who expect nothing for they shall not be dissapointed! -Unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blessed are they who expect nothing for they shall not be dissapointed! -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The term up has no meaning apart from the word down.

The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaos of thought and passion all confused. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chaos of thought and passion all confused.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was just ashamed and scared and came up with a story.

Origen seems to have put forward a definition generally agreed upon among ecclesiastical writers when he said that it is a faculty of the reason to distinguish between good and evil, a faculty of the will to choose one or the other. Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace; evil, when grace is absent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work your way up or rust your way out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work your way up or rust your way out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Would ye both eat your cake and have your cake?"This is commonly misquotes as "You can't have you're cake and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Would ye both eat your cake and have your cake?"This is commonly misquotes as "You can't have you're cake and eat it, too. - John Heywood's Proverbs, 1546.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though peace be made, yet it's interest that keep peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though peace be made, yet it's interest that keep peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference.

The grosser manifestations of these sins -- egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion -- are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders, even in circles of impeccable orthodoxy. They are so much in evidence as actually, for many people, to become identified with the gospel. I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words are the leaves of the tree of language, of which, if some fall away, a new succession takes their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words are the leaves of the tree of language, of which, if some fall away, a new succession takes their place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never "just run out for a few minutes" without looking your best.

To our amazement, it works out. And then we settle down. We have had our own first-hand and irrefutable experience. But, instead of opening the windows to the glory of the sunshine so evidently there, instead of being incited to a hugeness of faith by what Christ has already done for us, we can't believe that there can be anything more, or that even He can work, for us, anything better. That first foretaste satisfies us. And so we camp for life out on the confines of the Kingdom, and never press on to inherit what is there and meant for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A grave, wherever found, preaches a short and pithy sermon to the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18229]]></link><description><![CDATA[A grave, wherever found, preaches a short and pithy sermon to the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whom does undeserved honour please, and undeserved blame alarm, but the base and the liar? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whom does undeserved honour please, and undeserved blame alarm, but the base and the liar?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't teach a hunter it's wrong to kill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25371]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't teach a hunter it's wrong to kill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25371</guid></item></channel></rss>
