By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all just monkeys in business suits running around pretending to be executives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19976]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all just monkeys in business suits running around pretending to be executives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who hath none to still him, may weepe out his eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50099]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who hath none to still him, may weepe out his eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  The Hebrew word, nabi, translated "prophet" in English Bibles, has the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8281]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  The Hebrew word, nabi, translated "prophet" in English Bibles, has the connotation of "message bearer". The prophets were men called by God to serve as His messengers to a stubborn and unheeding people. They were always careful to point out that they were not voicing their own wisdom. Their warnings, entreaties, and promises were always prefaced by the awesome proclamation: "Thus says the Lord..." When the prophets did engage in prognostication, they usually were concerned with events which were fairly close at hand, such as the Assyrian conquest of Israel and the Babylonian conquest of Judah (both of which they foretold with deadly accuracy). But occasionally a prophet's vision ranged farther into the future, to the day when God would enter into a new covenant with his rebellious children. The hope of reconciliation was often linked with the coming of a very particular person, a Messiah or Savior.  What made the prophets so sure that they had a right--nay, a duty, to speak in the name of God? It is clear from their writings that they were not megalomaniacs who confused their own thoughts with the voice of God. On the contrary, they were humble men, awe-stricken by the responsibilities thrust upon them... The prophets minced no words in their indictments of the sins of Israel and Judah, and they trod especially hard on the toes of the rich, the powerful, and the pious. The Establishment responded then as some church members are wont to respond now when a preacher speaks out on controversial public issues: "One should not preach of such things!" (Micah 2:6).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer 'yes' without having asked any clear question. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5760]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer 'yes' without having asked any clear question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who plot the destruction of others often perish in the attempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50849]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who plot the destruction of others often perish in the attempt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never once made a discovery ...

This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The measure of a man is what he does with power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64184]]></link><description><![CDATA[The measure of a man is what he does with power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, there's a new generation of linens with finishes that don't wrinkle as much, that seem much more organic, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39127]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me, there's a new generation of linens with finishes that don't wrinkle as much, that seem much more organic, much more natural.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last night I discovered a new form of oral contraceptive.

This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21508]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Conversation"God and I in space alone . . .and nobody else in view . . ."And where are all the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1695]]></link><description><![CDATA["Conversation"God and I in space alone . . .and nobody else in view . . ."And where are all the people,Oh Lord" I said, "the earth below and the sky overheadand the dead that I once knew?""That was a dream," God smiledand said: "The dream that seemed tobe true; there were no peopleliving or dead; there was no earth, and no sky overhead,there was only myself in you.""Why do I feel no fear?"
