The New Testament [again, and notoriously, in the person of St Paul] assumes that there will be places other than the bedroom in which men and women assume consciously differentiated roles. They will do so in the affairs of the home, in which the wife is to "submit" to her husband (Eph. 5:22ff) as head. They will do so even outside the context of family life, since man is "head" of woman in some sense; in quite another context, when the Church is at worship (I Cor. 11:2ff). In order that St Paul should not be misjudged, we must note--(a) that this relational ordering of male and female presupposes a fundamental generic equality (I Cor. 11:1 ff); and (b) that the "submission" of the wife is a special case of a "submission" of all Christians to one another, and complements a husband's love that is to be expressed in self-sacrifice (Eph. 5:2lff, 25ff). The apostle is not an apologist for male tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52535]]></link><description><![CDATA[I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soul of fibre and heart of oak. [Sp., Alma de esparto y corazon de encina.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soul of fibre and heart of oak. [Sp., Alma de esparto y corazon de encina.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19335]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the heart of racism is the religious assertion that God made a creative mistake when He brought some people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52914]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the heart of racism is the religious assertion that God made a creative mistake when He brought some people into being]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41410]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't enjoy being a celebrity, I don't want any part of that or any part of that fame for fame... i'd actually rather die than be a celebrity slime!!!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16714]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hang no ivie out to sell my wine; The nectar of good wits will sell itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61665]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hang no ivie out to sell my wine; The nectar of good wits will sell itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10755]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is like a besieged castle; those who are on the outside wish to get in; and those who are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is like a besieged castle; those who are on the outside wish to get in; and those who are on the inside wish to get out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always tell people that I became a writer not because I went to school but because my mother took ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25235]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always tell people that I became a writer not because I went to school but because my mother took me to the library.

It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unix gives you just enough rope to hang yourself -- and then a couple of more feet, just to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unix gives you just enough rope to hang yourself -- and then a couple of more feet, just to be sure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, andvirtue is doing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, andvirtue is doing it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The occupation will pay a heavy price for this crime, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28612]]></link><description><![CDATA[The occupation will pay a heavy price for this crime,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A platitude is simply a truth repeated until people get tired of hearing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18999]]></link><description><![CDATA[A platitude is simply a truth repeated until people get tired of hearing it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/972]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Venerable Bede, Priest, Monk of Jarrow, Historian, 735 Commemoration of Aldhelm, Abbot of Mamsbury, Bishop of Sherborne, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Venerable Bede, Priest, Monk of Jarrow, Historian, 735 Commemoration of Aldhelm, Abbot of Mamsbury, Bishop of Sherborne, 709   In the way of virtue, there is no standing still; anyone who does not daily advance, loses ground.
