It cannot make itself the slave of men, not even though the men are Peter and Paul and John; no, not even though it were the Son of Man Himself. It resents dictation, not willfully nor wantonly, but because it must; and it resents it all the more when it claims to be inspired. If, therefore, the Atonement can only be received by those who are prepared from the threshold to acknowledge the inspiration and the consequent authority of Scripture, it can never be received by modern men at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their quarterback can run and throw well.

Only this, that they bear the seal of the Son of Man and God, they are the Magna Charta of the human spirit. Were we to devote to their comprehension a little of the selfless enthusiasm that is now expended on the riddle of our physical surroundings, we would cease to say that Christianity is coming to an end -- we might even feel that it had only just begun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Reverb Communications team brings the type of gaming experience we are looking for as we get ready to ship ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31454]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Reverb Communications team brings the type of gaming experience we are looking for as we get ready to ship a number of exciting console and PC titles into the marketplace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64039]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The role of Barbara, in Music for Millions, was literally a tonic for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39357]]></link><description><![CDATA[The role of Barbara, in Music for Millions, was literally a tonic for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43587]]></link><description><![CDATA[What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chicago is an October sort of city even in spring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chicago is an October sort of city even in spring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Venerable Bede, Priest, Monk of Jarrow, Historian 735 Commemoration of Aldhelm, Abbot of Mamsbury, Bishop of Sherborne, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Venerable Bede, Priest, Monk of Jarrow, Historian 735 Commemoration of Aldhelm, Abbot of Mamsbury, Bishop of Sherborne, 709  The world exists, not for what it means but for what it is. The purpose of mushrooms is to be mushrooms, wine is in order to wine: things are precious before they are contributory. It is a false piety that walks through creation looking only for lessons which can be applied somewhere else. To be sure, God remains the greatest good; but, for all that, the world is still good in itself. Indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own natural goodness; He has no use for it, only delight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such and so various are the tastes of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such and so various are the tastes of men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hell is a place, a time, a consciousness, in which there is no love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19111]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hell is a place, a time, a consciousness, in which there is no love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O serpent heart, hid with a flow'ring face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20237]]></link><description><![CDATA[O serpent heart, hid with a flow'ring face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most dangerous thing in the world is to try to leap a chasm in two jumps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11071]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most dangerous thing in the world is to try to leap a chasm in two jumps.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Reader! hast thou ever stood to see The Holly-tree?  The eye that contemplates it well perceives   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19585]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Reader! hast thou ever stood to see The Holly-tree?  The eye that contemplates it well perceives   Its glossy leaves    Ordered by an Intelligence so wise     As might confound the Atheist's sophistries.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Winter! ruler of the inverted year, . . . .  I crown thee king of intimate delights,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61715]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Winter! ruler of the inverted year, . . . .  I crown thee king of intimate delights,   Fireside enjoyments, home-born happiness,    And all the comforts that the lowly roof     Of undisturb'd Retirement, and the hours      Of long uninterrupted evening, know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54896]]></link><description><![CDATA[It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War is the father of us all, King of all.

Many honest Christian people experience the shock of a revelation when they are brought to realize that their membership of the Church constitutes a loyalty prior to their loyalty to the nation to which they belong. Patriotism is one of the powerful underground pseudo-religions of to-day, not merely nationalism. The fundamental notion that the Christians are a "peculiar people" that never is identical, or even can be, with a people in the biological, national sense of the word, is largely asleep. It can only become awake by a new grasp of the biblical truth that the Church is the "people of God", an elect race composed of people out of all nations, transcending all nations and races.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5075]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have two shoe boxes full of stuff.
