He allowed himself (God allowed him) to be accounted sin by the Law. He refused to do what orthodox Jews of his day thought God had commanded them to do, (i.e.) seek to gain credit with God by keeping the Law. He lived by faith, not Law, and therefore repudiated the Law and the path of self-justification.... He stripped himself even of that claim to moral goodness which would have distinguished him from sinners. Short of becoming a sinner (and Paul shows that this idea is repudiated), how could God come closer to us sinners?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love the giver more than the gift. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love the giver more than the gift.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62859]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people of Crete unfortunately make more history than they can consume locally. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19361]]></link><description><![CDATA[The people of Crete unfortunately make more history than they can consume locally.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To live we must conquer incessantly, we must have the courage to be happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18681]]></link><description><![CDATA[To live we must conquer incessantly, we must have the courage to be happy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64796]]></link><description><![CDATA[When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perceptions are real.

The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to use the example that building a car is hard, but building the first car is quite hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38300]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like to use the example that building a car is hard, but building the first car is quite hard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This man [Chesterfield] I thought had been a lord among wits; but I find he is only a wit among ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61827]]></link><description><![CDATA[This man [Chesterfield] I thought had been a lord among wits; but I find he is only a wit among lords.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every county gets money under this plan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every county gets money under this plan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a pleasant thing to be pointed at with the finger, and to hear it said, "That is he." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50826]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a pleasant thing to be pointed at with the finger, and to hear it said, "That is he."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2691]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The second best times tend to be more difficult. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62826]]></link><description><![CDATA[The second best times tend to be more difficult.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jacqueline Kennedy rented and then built homes in the horse country of Virginia where she would take these Thursday to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jacqueline Kennedy rented and then built homes in the horse country of Virginia where she would take these Thursday to Tuesday weekends and just come back to the White House two or three days during the week.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Congress is so strange.

But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every era has a currency that buys souls.
