I don't think of myself as a teacher so much as an impersonator of profundities, inhabiting the wisdom of texts with the naked confidence that the value of the genius I espouse transcends the particular fraud that I am the one espousing it. And it doesn't even matter to me that no one seems to be listening; those who listen that I don't know about are enough to keep me going--soaring on the wings of borrowed metaphors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm going to try to do some things, and send some things over there also. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39011]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm going to try to do some things, and send some things over there also.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A basic principle in the interpretation of the Bible is that one must first ask what a given Scripture was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7629]]></link><description><![CDATA[A basic principle in the interpretation of the Bible is that one must first ask what a given Scripture was intended to mean to the people for whom it was originally written; only then is the interpreter free to ask what meaning it has for Christians today. Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of All Souls  We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God.

The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At times, it's hard to practice against him because he's relentless for the offense to win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32767]]></link><description><![CDATA[At times, it's hard to practice against him because he's relentless for the offense to win.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're not closing the lower Manhattan location. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34557]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're not closing the lower Manhattan location.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know the good, we apprehend it clearly, but we can't bring it to achievement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/317]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know the good, we apprehend it clearly, but we can't bring it to achievement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The footsteps are terrifying, all coming towards you and none going back again. [Lat., Vestigia terrent  Omnia te adversum ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16411]]></link><description><![CDATA[The footsteps are terrifying, all coming towards you and none going back again. [Lat., Vestigia terrent  Omnia te adversum spectantia, nulla retrorsum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We estimate the first phase will take 18 to 24 months to complete. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30955]]></link><description><![CDATA[We estimate the first phase will take 18 to 24 months to complete.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gods have given you wealth and the means of enjoying it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50343]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gods have given you wealth and the means of enjoying it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The center of the stage is where I am. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59039]]></link><description><![CDATA[The center of the stage is where I am.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mercy stood in the cloud, with eye that wept Essential love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mercy stood in the cloud, with eye that wept Essential love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not enough to reach for the brass ring.
