If I were to give it to you, you would think yourself of some importance, you would fancy that you had gained something very great. Because you asked for it, you have it. But take care to make good use of it. Before you had it, you were humble; now that you have begun to be rich you despise the poor. What kind of a good is that which only makes you worse? For worse you are, since you were bad already. And that it would make you worse you knew not; hence you asked it of Me. I gave it to you, and I proved you; you have found -- and you have found out! Ask of Me better things than these, greater things than these. Ask of Me spiritual things. Ask of Me Myself!".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For my voice, I have lost it with halloing and singing of anthems. -King Henry IV. Part II.

There are Asian, West Indian, and Anglo-Saxon congregations worshiping and meeting close to each other. These groups meet at work and in school, but not always in church. If the church is middle-class and intellectual in the language of the services, in the music employed, in the life-style expected of Christians, in its leadership, and in the methods of presenting the gospel, then the whole atmosphere is such as to repel those who are not middle-class and intellectual. They feel out of place and unwanted, even if they are given a friendly greeting at the door. The life of the New Testament Church was evidence of the supernatural; God was in their midst. The power of Christ was a reality. The fellowship could not be explained in simple natural terms. A church divided on social and racial lines is not evidence for the supernatural, but for the simply human and social.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will not supply gas to the national grid until the government settles our bills. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30569]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will not supply gas to the national grid until the government settles our bills.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're naturally kind you attract a lot of people you don't like. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51990]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're naturally kind you attract a lot of people you don't like.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimension. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13510]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimension.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no little enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13878]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no little enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a basic philosophy here that by empowering...workers you'll make their jobs far more interesting, and they'll be able to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13758]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a basic philosophy here that by empowering...workers you'll make their jobs far more interesting, and they'll be able to work at a higher level than they would have without all that information just a few clicks away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a brave fellow!

("To know all is to forgive all.") ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on forgiveness:   Tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner. ("To know all is to forgive all.") No commonplace is more untrue. Behavior, whether conditioned by an individual neurosis or by society, can be understood, that is to say, one knows exactly why such and such an individual behaves as he does. But a personal action or deed is always mysterious. When we really act, precisely because it is a matter of free choice, we can never say exactly why we do this rather than that. But it is only deeds that we are required to forgive. If someone does me an injury, the question of forgiveness only arises if I am convinced (a) that the injury he did me was a free act on his part and therefore no less mysterious to him than to me, and (b) that it was me personally whom he meant to injure. Christ does not forgive the soldiers who are nailing him to the Cross; he asks the Father to forgive them. He knows as well as they do why they are doing this -- they are a squad, detailed to execute a criminal. They do not know what they are doing, because it is not their business, as executioners, to know whom they are crucifying. If the person who does me an injury does not know what he is doing, then it is as ridiculous for me to talk about forgiving him as it would be for me to "forgive" a tile which falls on my head in a gale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And pines with thirst amidst a sea of waves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61293]]></link><description><![CDATA[And pines with thirst amidst a sea of waves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My ancestors wandered lost in the wilderness for forty years because even in biblical times, men would not stop to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18442]]></link><description><![CDATA[My ancestors wandered lost in the wilderness for forty years because even in biblical times, men would not stop to ask for directions]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The daughter of debate That still discord doth sow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3047]]></link><description><![CDATA[The daughter of debate That still discord doth sow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His speech was a fine sample, on the whole, Of rhetoric, which the learn'd call "rigmarole." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57346]]></link><description><![CDATA[His speech was a fine sample, on the whole, Of rhetoric, which the learn'd call "rigmarole."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we don't know life, how can we know death? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64231]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we don't know life, how can we know death?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendships are fragile things, and require as much handling as any other fragile and precious thing. -Randolph S.
