Her hand rests by an iron spike from the wood thrust high  ("The nails in His hands!" ) An open chink in the rude, cold shed lets in the sky, and the Star that led shepherds and kings pours down its light: a silver shaft through the frosty night  ("The spear in His side!") Her hands reach out, as to push away the cross-crowned hill and the bloody day; they touch a rough, unyielding wall: the stable side, of stone piled tall  ("The stone -- rolled away!").]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the educated are free. -Epictetus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the educated are free. -Epictetus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24243]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the same, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11149]]></link><description><![CDATA[If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down?

Our duty is to see whether God is with us; whether we expect great things from Him; whether we do not practically place Him far off, forgetting that, if He is, He is about us, speaking to us words that have not been heard before, guiding us to paths on which earlier generations have not been able to enter. There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-nighthacking (and/or conversations with God). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-nighthacking (and/or conversations with God).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing.
