It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything you are against weakens you.

Here's what I wonder about Dick Cheney, and the reason that maybe they keep him only in loyalty oath audiences, is if he becomes angry, I do believe he turns into the Hulk. And so, they try and keep people from questioning him, because he'll just -- the shirt rips, and suddenly he has hair. So he's been my favorite, because he just goes out there to a room full of supporters and says, 'You know we're all going to die, right?' You're going to die unless I'm in charge.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was very relevant to the students. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32674]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was very relevant to the students.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And rank for her meant duty, various, Yet equal in its worth, done worthily.  Command was service; humblest service ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13050]]></link><description><![CDATA[And rank for her meant duty, various, Yet equal in its worth, done worthily.  Command was service; humblest service done   By willing and discerning souls was glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Help me to resist temptation, Lord, especially when I know no one is looking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Help me to resist temptation, Lord, especially when I know no one is looking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I require three things in a man: He must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27169]]></link><description><![CDATA[I require three things in a man: He must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is the behavior people take under the pressure of survival.
