Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas twilight, and the sunless day went down Over the waste of waters; like a veil,  Which, if withdrawn, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59917]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas twilight, and the sunless day went down Over the waste of waters; like a veil,  Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the frown   Of one whose hate is mask'd but to assail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all laws into contempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24318]]></link><description><![CDATA[To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all laws into contempt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3353]]></link><description><![CDATA[A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that writers can do is keep trying to say what is deepest in their hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40885]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that writers can do is keep trying to say what is deepest in their hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The news of the open military help to Franco from Hitler and Mussolini, and the heroic resistance of the people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30177]]></link><description><![CDATA[The news of the open military help to Franco from Hitler and Mussolini, and the heroic resistance of the people of Madrid, Barcelona and the big cities fired a widespread wish to help the Republic and its people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doug Melvin's contract is absolutely being extended.
