The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry must have something in it that is barbaric, vast and wild. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry must have something in it that is barbaric, vast and wild.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66433]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In just the last two and a half or three years, I've noticed a big difference in the clientele. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34674]]></link><description><![CDATA[In just the last two and a half or three years, I've noticed a big difference in the clientele.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the gods are dead except the god of war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53582]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the gods are dead except the god of war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I really have a secret satisfaction in being considered rather mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27325]]></link><description><![CDATA[I really have a secret satisfaction in being considered rather mad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday  There are many things which a person can do alone, but being a Christian is not one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6880]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday  There are many things which a person can do alone, but being a Christian is not one of them. As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For April sobs while these are so glad April weeps while these are so gay,--  Weeps like a tired ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2985]]></link><description><![CDATA[For April sobs while these are so glad April weeps while these are so gay,--  Weeps like a tired child who had,   Playing with flowers, lost its way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are made for larger ends than Earth can encompass.

By this we do not mean any particular part of the Church; what we do mean is that conversion must leave one linked in loving fellowship with one's fellow believers. Conversion is not something simply between a man and Jesus Christ, with no other person involved. True, it may start in that way; but it cannot end in that way. Conversion is not individualistic. It is, in fact, just the opposite. It joins man to his fellow men, and certainly does not separate him from them.

Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject. (recounting what he told a player who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject. (recounting what he told a player who received four F's and one D)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices as public trusts, bestowed for the good of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52503]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices as public trusts, bestowed for the good of the country, and not for the benefit of an individual or a party.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we could have a little patience, we should escape much mortification; time takes away as much as it gives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45742]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we could have a little patience, we should escape much mortification; time takes away as much as it gives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's not going to be charged because she's a victim and she's scared.
