Yet with his best thought, and largest opportunity, and the application of his highest ability, he cannot penetrate far. But the Christ of God unfolds both its meaning, and its order. He shows that the goal is freedom, and the guidance love. In this way Christ appears direct to the spirit of man, not by its special acquirements, or special ability, but through its common needs and common tasks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first men that our Saviour dear Did choose to wait upon Him here,  Blest fishers were; and fish ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16099]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first men that our Saviour dear Did choose to wait upon Him here,  Blest fishers were; and fish the last   Food was, that He on earth did taste:    I therefore strive to follow those,     Whom He to follow Him hath chose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where freedom is real, equality is the passion of the masses.

But this inward work of God, though never ceasing or altering, is yet always and only hindered by the activity of our own nature and faculties, by bad men through their obedience to earthly passions and by good men through their striving to be good in their own way, by their natural strength and a multiplicity of holy labours and contrivances. Both these sorts of people obstruct the work of God upon their souls. For we can cooperate with God no other way than by submitting to the work of God, and seeking, and leaving ourselves to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had I started anywhere else but Vancouver I would not be here tonight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had I started anywhere else but Vancouver I would not be here tonight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ordinary people believe only in the possible.
