Even if we were first to grant the presence of a "Christendom" situation [where] Church and State would be virtually coextensive, the nation of Israel would still remain unique. The focus of salvation is on the historical action of God in forming a people for Himself, and there is no indication anywhere in the Bible that God promises political salvation even inside the context of the full salvation of His people, let alone outside it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slander is the revenge of a coward, and dissimulation of his defense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56561]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slander is the revenge of a coward, and dissimulation of his defense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The realist is the man, who having weighed all the visible factors in a given situation and having found that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53074]]></link><description><![CDATA[The realist is the man, who having weighed all the visible factors in a given situation and having found that the odds are against him, decides that fighting is useless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You people are telling me what you think I want to know.

A general laugh saluted her on the presentation of her son. She resolutely said, I know not whether Jupiter will allot the prize to my son, but this I do know, that he is at least in the eyes of me his mother, the dearest, handsomest, and most beautiful of all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Building is a sweet impoverishing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Building is a sweet impoverishing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much like a subtle spider, which doth sit In middle of her web, which spreadeth wide:  If aught do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much like a subtle spider, which doth sit In middle of her web, which spreadeth wide:  If aught do touch the utmost thread of it,   She feels it instantly on every side.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62376]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The American experiment is the most tremendous and far reaching engine of social change which has ever either blessed or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31359]]></link><description><![CDATA[The American experiment is the most tremendous and far reaching engine of social change which has ever either blessed or cursed mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will play the swan, And die in music. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58461]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will play the swan, And die in music.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They [corporations] feel neither shame, remorse, gratitude, nor goodwill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5033]]></link><description><![CDATA[They [corporations] feel neither shame, remorse, gratitude, nor goodwill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349  I have often, on my knees, been shocked to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349  I have often, on my knees, been shocked to find what sort of thoughts I have, for a moment, been addressing to God; what infantile placations I was really offering, what claims I have really made, even what absurd adjustments or compromises I was, half-consciously, proposing. There is a Pagan, savage heart in me somewhere. For unfortunately the folly and idiot-cunning of Paganism seem to have far more power of surviving than its innocent or even beautiful elements. It is easy, once you have power, to silence the pipes, still the dances, disfigure the statues, and forget the stories; but not easy to kill the savage, the greedy, frightened creature now cringing, now blustering in one's soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One great use of words is to hide our thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62024]]></link><description><![CDATA[One great use of words is to hide our thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The issue is not the gas supply, it's the power outages, ...
