Who among his disciples or among their proselytes was capable of inventing the sayings of Jesus or of imagining the life and character revealed in the Gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly not St. Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally different sort; still less the early Christian writers, in whom nothing is more evident than that the good which was in them was all derived, as they always professed that it was derived, from the higher source.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole world was not sufficient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63774]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole world was not sufficient.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth  Some day, we hope, study will be as much a part of churchmanship as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth  Some day, we hope, study will be as much a part of churchmanship as worship and financial support are today.

Love is sufficient of itself; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit. It is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing provided it recurs to its beginning, returns to its origin, and draws always from that Fountain which is perpetually in flood. Of all the feelings and affections of the soul, love is the only one by which the creature, though not on equal terms, is able to respond to the Creator and to repay what it has received from Him. For when God loves us He desires nothing but to be loved. He loves for no other reason, indeed, than that He may be loved, knowing that by their love itself those who love Him are blessed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship, 1951 Concluding a short series on Romans 8:   [Of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship, 1951 Concluding a short series on Romans 8:   [Of vv. 32]   St. Paul had a lovely way of letting his letters break out into song every now and then. ([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who will make a doore of gold must knock a naile every day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50107]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who will make a doore of gold must knock a naile every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us not forget the humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us not think of it vaguely, and fall into the heretical fancy that the Son of God became man merely to transact certain things which were necessary to secure the salvation of men, and that after this object was achieved His human nature recedes into the background and impenetrable obscurity. No, it is not so; all-important as His work on earth was -- the only foundation of our hope and blessedness -- let us adore the revealed mystery that God gave us His Son, never to recall Him, as it were, and take Him away from us; He spared Him not and gave Him to us, allowing Him to become man, exalting Him as the Son of Man, enthroning Him because of his obedience unto death, and giving unto Him as the Son of Man all power in heaven and earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will buy any creme, cosmetic, or elixir from a woman with a European accent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10201]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will buy any creme, cosmetic, or elixir from a woman with a European accent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The robot is going to lose.
