Genuine spiritual authority is to be found only where the ministry of hearing, helping, bearing, and proclaiming is carried out. Every cult of personality that emphasizes the distinguished qualities, virtues, and talents of another person, even though these be of an altogether spiritual nature, is worldly and has no place in the Christian community; indeed, it poisons the Christian community...   Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in the service of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not need brilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...   Pastoral authority can be attained only by the servant of Jesus who seeks no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to the authority of the Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this spacious isle I think there is not one But he hath heard some talk of Hood and Little ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57915]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this spacious isle I think there is not one But he hath heard some talk of Hood and Little John,  Of Tuck, the merry friar, which many a sermon made   In praise of Robin Hood, his outlaws, and their trade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The newest books are those that never grow old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4599]]></link><description><![CDATA[The newest books are those that never grow old.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We take our hats off to them.
