The reason is simple. Those attitudes and practices to which we give the collective name of religion are themselves concerned with religion hardly at all. To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God. Therefore, almost by definition, a religious man, or a man when he is being religious, is not thinking about religion; he hasn't the time. Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God has called us to shine, just as much as Daniel was sent into Babylon to shine.

The common basis of their life was the conviction that they enjoyed a new relationship with God, for which they were indebted to Jesus. The technical term for this relationship was "covenant", and "covenant" became eventually in their vocabulary "testament". Hence the later name for these writings of the church, when gathered into a sacred collection, was "The New Testament" -- New because the older relationship of God to his people, which had obtained under Judaism, with its Old Testament was superseded by the faith and fellowship which Jesus Christ his Son had inaugurated. It was the consciousness of this that inspired the early Christians to live, and to write about the origin and applications of this new life. They wrote for their own age, without a thought of posterity, and they did not write in unison but in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It couldn't have happened anywhere but in little old New York. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44430]]></link><description><![CDATA[It couldn't have happened anywhere but in little old New York.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't have to have faith, I have experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65296]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't have to have faith, I have experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18610]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19036]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To weepe for joy is a kinde of Manna. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50017]]></link><description><![CDATA[To weepe for joy is a kinde of Manna.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that marries late, marries ill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49378]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that marries late, marries ill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535  We must always speak of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535  We must always speak of the efficacy of the ministry in such a manner that the entire praise of the work may be reserved for God alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never wanted to be famous.
