The first is called insuperable, the second inseparable, the third singular. Thy love is insuperable when nothing may overcome it, that is, neither weal, nor woe, nor anguish, just of flesh nor the liking of this world... Thy love is inseparable when all thy thoughts and thy wills are gathered together and fastened wholly in Jesus Christ, so that thou mayest no time forget Him, but aye thou thinkest on Him... Thy love is singular when all thy delight is in Jesus Christ and in no other thing finds joy and comfort.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65854]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For man to turn his back on God is to turn towards death; it involves ultimately the renunciation of every ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7565]]></link><description><![CDATA[For man to turn his back on God is to turn towards death; it involves ultimately the renunciation of every aspect of life. To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Betrayal is the only truth that sticks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After a trip to Mexico [in 1984]...

I suffered a mild depression... When [an episcopal priest] prayed for my recovery, I choked up and wept. The only prayer I knew word for word was the Pater Noster. On that day and in the days after it, I found myself repeating the Lord's Prayer, again and again, and meaning every word of it. Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened... After many years of affirming God's existence and trying to give adequate reasons for that affirmation, I found myself believing in God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women thrive on novelty and are easy meat for the commerce of fashion.

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[Character is the sum and total of a person's choices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18224]]></link><description><![CDATA[O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
