We are speaking of the proper relationship to the living God who exists. In order to understand the problems of our generation, we should be very alive to this distinction. Semantics (linguistic analysis) makes up the heart of modern philosophical study in the Anglo-Saxon world. Though the Christian cannot accept this study as a total philosophy, there is no reason why he should not be glad for the concept that words need to be defined before they can be used in communication. As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word "god" until it is defined. No word has been used to reach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word "god". Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that would relate itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the one who is there, which is an entirely different concept.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather be alone with dignity than in a relationship that requires me to sacrifice my self respect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63135]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather be alone with dignity than in a relationship that requires me to sacrifice my self respect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64273]]></link><description><![CDATA[I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will respond in kind to all those who took part in the aggression on Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29801]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will respond in kind to all those who took part in the aggression on Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dwarf is small even if he stands on a mountain; a colossus keeps his height, even if he stands ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dwarf is small even if he stands on a mountain; a colossus keeps his height, even if he stands in a well. [Lat., Parvus pumilio, licet in monte constiterit; colossus magnitudinem suam servabit, etiam si steterit in puteo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rapid poverty reduction requires not only high rates of economic growth but also that the benefits of this growth be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36691]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rapid poverty reduction requires not only high rates of economic growth but also that the benefits of this growth be distributed more equitably.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A study of economics usually reveals that the best time to buy anything is last year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5159]]></link><description><![CDATA[A study of economics usually reveals that the best time to buy anything is last year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ant and the GrasshopperIn a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about,chirping and singing to its heart's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1519]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ant and the GrasshopperIn a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about,chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by,bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to thenest.Why not come and chat with me, said the Grasshopper,instead of toiling and moiling in that way?I am helping to lay up food for the winter, said the Ant,and recommend you to do the same.Why bother about winter? said the Grasshopper; we have gotplenty of food at present. But the Ant went on its way andcontinued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had nofood and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the antsdistributing every day corn and grain from the stores they hadcollected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accursed poison lies hid beneath sweet honey. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accursed poison lies hid beneath sweet honey.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd just as soon a beggar as king, And the reason I'll tell you for why;  A king cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3930]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd just as soon a beggar as king, And the reason I'll tell you for why;  A king cannot swagger, not drink like a beggar,   Nor be half so happy as I.    . . . .     Let the back and side go bare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4559]]></link><description><![CDATA[For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, a little more tepid than what markets were expecting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously, a little more tepid than what markets were expecting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will never be an old man.

But to have any meaning or viability at all, a life plan must include intimate relationships. •Harriet Lerner  Treasure your relationships, not your possessions. •Anthony J D'Angelo  Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none. •Richard M DeVos  Without relationships, no matter how much wealth, fame, power, prestige and seeming success by the standards and opinions of the world one has, happiness will constantly eluded him. •Sidney Malwed  Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate. •Albert Schweitzer  The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one. •Joan Baez  For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship. •Warren Beatty  The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the way the other person smells -- and he smelled real nice. •Sandra Bullock  My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons. •Lord Byron  In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of. •Angela Carter  I know for me the subject of how to be in a relationship is precious and complicated and challenging. It wouldn't be right to make it look too easy. •Helen Hunt  If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time. •Octavio Paz  The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. •Alexandria Penney  It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting. •Todd Ruthman  When you're in a relationship, you're always surrounded by a ring of circumstances... joined together by a wedding ring, or in a boxing ring. •Bob Seger  If you're in a relationship and you want to make it work, you have to be a little selfless at times. •Montel Williams  Assumptions are the termites of relationships.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My life will be sour grapes and ashes without you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32311]]></link><description><![CDATA[My life will be sour grapes and ashes without you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked (Proverbs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60675]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked (Proverbs 10:11).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover, Fades in his eye, and palls upon the sense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty soon grows familiar to the lover, Fades in his eye, and palls upon the sense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even turkeys can fly in a stiff wind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59905]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even turkeys can fly in a stiff wind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've never let my school interfere with my education. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13367]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've never let my school interfere with my education.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19904]]></link><description><![CDATA[My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think this is good for the stock tomorrow morning.
