In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My heart is ever at your service, my lord. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55225]]></link><description><![CDATA[My heart is ever at your service, my lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To see what is right, and not do it, is want of courage, or of principle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46096]]></link><description><![CDATA[To see what is right, and not do it, is want of courage, or of principle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34016]]></link><description><![CDATA[What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't move, with no hope of rescue.

Among the adulatory formulas with which the emperor was acclaimed, Prof. Ethelbert Stauffer mentions, as going back to the first century, "Hail, Victory, Lord of the earth, Invincible, Power, Glory, Honour, Peace, Security, Holy, Blessed, Unequalled, Great, Thou alone worthy art, Worthy is he to inherit the Kingdom, Come, come, do not delay, Come again" (p. 155) [in Christ and the Caesars]. Indeed, one has only to read Psalm lxxii, in Latin, in the official language of the empire, to see that it is largely the same formal language which is used alike in the Forum for the advent of the emperor, and in the catacombs for the celebration of the "Epiphany of Christ" (p. 251). Who was worthy to ascend the throne of the universe and direct the course of history? Caesar, or Jesus?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So much of this world is based on illusion, temporariness, and disposability that I think it's essential that our closest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35782]]></link><description><![CDATA[So much of this world is based on illusion, temporariness, and disposability that I think it's essential that our closest relationships reflect what is real.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men show their character in nothing more clearly than by what they find laughable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men show their character in nothing more clearly than by what they find laughable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The peer review system is satisfactory during quiescent times, but not during a revolution in a discipline such as astrophysics, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36282]]></link><description><![CDATA[The peer review system is satisfactory during quiescent times, but not during a revolution in a discipline such as astrophysics, when the establishment seeks to preserve the status quo.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a dreadful thing it must be to have a dull father. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27266]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a dreadful thing it must be to have a dull father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One day we were brought into the world, knowing love only as being what we had for our toys, family, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15187]]></link><description><![CDATA[One day we were brought into the world, knowing love only as being what we had for our toys, family, and friends.
