St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23026]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had some breakdowns defensively.

But at the submicroscopic level, specks of matter scattered through a vast emptiness have such incredible density and weight, and are linked to one another by such powerful forces, that together they produce all the properties of concrete, cast iron and solid rock. In much the same way, specks of knowledge are scattered through a vast emptiness of ignorance, and everything depends upon how solid the individual specks of knowledge are, and on how powerfully linked and coordinated they are with one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of a liberal education is to make you philosophical enough to accept the fact that you will never ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28105]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of a liberal education is to make you philosophical enough to accept the fact that you will never make much money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before we work on artificial intelligence why don't we do something about natural stupidity? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Before we work on artificial intelligence why don't we do something about natural stupidity?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19486]]></link><description><![CDATA[A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The darkest day in a man's career is that wherein he fancies there is some easier way of getting a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5264]]></link><description><![CDATA[The darkest day in a man's career is that wherein he fancies there is some easier way of getting a dollar than by squarely earning it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each year, one vicious habit rooted out, in time ought to make the worst man good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18556]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each year, one vicious habit rooted out, in time ought to make the worst man good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideals are very often formed in the effort to escape from the hard task of dealing with facts, which is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52061]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ideals are very often formed in the effort to escape from the hard task of dealing with facts, which is the function of science and art. There is no process by which to reach an ideal. There are no tests by which to verify it. It is therefore impossible to frame a proposition about an ideal which can be proved or disproved. It follows that the use of ideals is to be strictly limited to proper cases, and that the attempt to use ideals in social discussion does not deserve serious consideration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals.

Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.
