O well-spring of this All! Thy Father's image vive; Word, that from nought did call What is, doth reason, live; The soul's eternal food, Earth's joy, delight of heaven; All truth, love, beauty, good: To thee, to thee be praises ever given! O glory of the heaven! O sole delight of earth! To thee all power be given, God's uncreated birth! Of mankind lover true, Indearer of his wrong, Who doth the world renew, Still be thou our salvation and our song!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4265]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our guys decided at halftime we weren't going to let this game get away.

The pride of spiritual gifts had led the Corinthians to jealousy and strife. They had divided into factions owning the leadership, one of Paul, one of Apollos, another of Cephas, and another of Christ -- but such factions, the apostle tells them, were not characteristics of the "spiritual", but of the carnal. To divide the Church was to destroy the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwelt among them (I Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). And the very gifts about which they quarreled should have been a power to unite them, for they all proceeded from one and the same Spirit, from one and the same Lord, from one and the same God, who worketh all in all. The Spirit was indeed the principle of unity in the Church, "for in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13). Therefore, to divide the Church was to drive away the Spirit... The tests of spiritual phenomena in the life of the community, and the proofs that they were of the Holy Spirit, were unity, order, and edification.

Mary's, of course, was the better part -- the Lord said so, and we must not precisely contradict Him. But we will be careful not to despise Martha. No doubt, He approved of her, too. We could not get on without her, and indeed, having paid lip-service to God's opinion, we must admit that we greatly prefer her, for Martha was doing a really feminine job, whereas Mary was just behaving like any other disciple; and that is a hard pill to swallow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51125]]></link><description><![CDATA[A coward calls himself cautious, a miser thrifty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is sane who does not know how to be insane on the proper occasions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54671]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is sane who does not know how to be insane on the proper occasions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're taking a group of congregations together.
