This faith, once given, proved to be -- like the Person who gave rise to it -- essentially self-authenticating. And ever since, the Church has looked to the Cross, a symbol of weakness, as its unique source of power in preaching the Gospel, its authority both to teach and to preach has been of this kind. No amount of liaison between the Church and the source of any other authority, political or moral, must be allowed to obscure the simplicity -- and the mystery -- of the authority of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dream is real, my friends.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.Job v.7. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2179]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.Job v.7.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shooting 34 percent in the state basketball tournament, I don't think you're going to win a lot of games. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41776]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shooting 34 percent in the state basketball tournament, I don't think you're going to win a lot of games.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14711]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest inventions were produced in the times of ignorance, as the use of the compass, gunpowder, and printing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19483]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest inventions were produced in the times of ignorance, as the use of the compass, gunpowder, and printing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius begins great works; labor alone finishes them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius begins great works; labor alone finishes them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who will think that the gods can be insulted with impunity? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50596]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who will think that the gods can be insulted with impunity?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never forget what you need to remember. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never forget what you need to remember.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside.
