To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God. There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father.

For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have great faith in our players and I've come away from the game more comfortable and confident than I'd ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35968]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have great faith in our players and I've come away from the game more comfortable and confident than I'd have been if I hadn't seen the match,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a fountain of youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring in your life and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62536]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a fountain of youth: It is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring in your life and the lives of people you love]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good ideas are common - what's uncommon are people who'll work hard enough to bring them about ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good ideas are common - what's uncommon are people who'll work hard enough to bring them about]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The feasant hens of Colchis, which have two ears as it were consisting of feathers, which they will set up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46448]]></link><description><![CDATA[The feasant hens of Colchis, which have two ears as it were consisting of feathers, which they will set up and lay down as they list.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I train myself mentally with visualization.
