A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought we came out in the second half -- once we kind of settled in -- and played pretty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31306]]></link><description><![CDATA[I thought we came out in the second half -- once we kind of settled in -- and played pretty well.

Sometimes migrating groups of potato-washers meet non-washers, and the two groups watch each other's strange behavior with apparent bewilderment. But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God help the man who won't marry until he finds a perfect woman, and God help him still more if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27126]]></link><description><![CDATA[God help the man who won't marry until he finds a perfect woman, and God help him still more if he finds her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acheson's Rule of Bureaucracy: A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acheson's Rule of Bureaucracy: A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12388]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune.

And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No thanks attach to a kindness long deferred. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50748]]></link><description><![CDATA[No thanks attach to a kindness long deferred.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman isn't complete without a man.

It was because popes could and did err and because councils could and did err that Luther came to realize the supremacy of Scripture. Luther did not despise church authority, nor did he repudiate church councils as having no value. His praise of the Council of Nicaea is noteworthy. Luther and the Reformers did not mean by "Sola Scriptura" that the Bible is the only authority in the church; rather, they meant that the Bible is the only infallible authority in the church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Restore to God His due in tithe and time; A tithe purloin'd cankers the whole estate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Restore to God His due in tithe and time; A tithe purloin'd cankers the whole estate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep a diary, and someday it'll keep you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep a diary, and someday it'll keep you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ant and the Dove AN ANT went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, andbeing carried ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1497]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ant and the Dove AN ANT went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, andbeing carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point ofdrowning. A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water pluckeda leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Antclimbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortlyafterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, and laidhis lime-twigs for the Dove, which sat in the branches. The Ant,perceiving his design, stung him in the foot.
