I do not mean to say that Christ is not mentioned as the author of all good, but that stress is laid on the believing rather than on the object of belief, on the comfort and persuasiveness of the doctrine than on the doctrine itself.

To get close to men, it is necessary really to share their experience, and to share their experience is to share it by being in it, not merely to come as near to it as possible without being in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65602]]></link><description><![CDATA[God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could have begged.
