It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people gathered to a political meeting, and the chief speaker spoke to them only for some quarter of an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7848]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people gathered to a political meeting, and the chief speaker spoke to them only for some quarter of an hour, they would be annoyed, would feel with some resentment that he had not taken them seriously, had dealt much too cavalierly with the question of the hour, an Ulster boundary, or such like. But the things of the soul are far more momentous, and to be asked to deal with huge, unfathomable facts like the Cross in a few minutes, means that people are not really interested in these things. This is, of course, a snippety age, with a snippety press, and snippety novels. But must we preachers follow and be snippety, too?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our youth we can have but to-day; We may always find time to grow old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62558]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our youth we can have but to-day; We may always find time to grow old.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52609]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good man is the man who, no matter how morally unworthy he has been, is moving to become better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42067]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all men are born free, how is it that all women are born slaves?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As all Nature's thousands changes But one changeless God proclaim;  So in Art's wide kingdom ranges   One ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3180]]></link><description><![CDATA[As all Nature's thousands changes But one changeless God proclaim;  So in Art's wide kingdom ranges   One sole meaning still the same:    This is Truth, eternal Reason,     Which from Beauty takes its dress,      And serene through time and season       Stands aye in loveliness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Monotheism is a gift from the gods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Monotheism is a gift from the gods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's great for New England golf fans that the PGA Tour has made Labor Day weekend an annual end-of-summer destination ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30249]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's great for New England golf fans that the PGA Tour has made Labor Day weekend an annual end-of-summer destination at the TPC.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the world slide. -The Taming of the Shrew.
