Of what I have learnt from these documents in the course of my long task, I will say nothing now. Only this, that they bear the seal of the Son of Man and God, they are the Magna Charta of the human spirit. Were we to devote to their comprehension a little of the selfless enthusiasm that is now expended on the riddle of our physical surroundings, we would cease to say that Christianity is coming to an end -- we might even feel that it had only just begun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money can't buy real friendship—friendship must be earned.

Money can't buy a clear conscience—square dealing is the price tag. Money can't buy the glow of good health—right living is the secret. Money can't buy happiness—happiness is a mental condition and one may be as happy in a cottage as in a mansion. Money can't buy sunsets, songs of wild birds and the music of the wind in the trees—these are as free as the air we breath. Money can't buy inward peace—peace is the result of a constructive philosophy in life. Money can't buy a good character—good character is achieved through decent habits of private living and wholesome dealings in our open contacts with our fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever may be our differences of colour, culture, and class, the unity that is ours in Christ is given visible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever may be our differences of colour, culture, and class, the unity that is ours in Christ is given visible expression at every Synod. Here we all gather around the one Altar, here we all share in shaping the policy of the Church in this diocese; here we all take part in making provision for carrying on the work of the Church during the coming year. At this time, year by year, we are specially conscious of our unity in Christ, and are made aware afresh that we are members of this new race of human beings which is made up of all those of every ethnic group who have been added to Christ. We are members of that Kingdom in which all human antagonisms are transcended. Yet we shall not interpret aright this unity which is ours in Christ Jesus unless we continually remind ourselves that it has its origin in His death and resurrection. The Church springs out of the deeds of Jesus done in the flesh, and we can only fulfill our destiny in the Church as we learn that we are utterly dependent upon the whole Body of Christ. . . . Whatever gifts we possess belong to the Body, and are useful only as they are used in the common life of the Church. All this is made very plain in the New Testament Epistles, for in them we are taught that each local Christian community is a fellowship in which every member is to live in humility and in love to the brethren. Yet no local church is to live to it self. Again and again, local churches are reminded of their close relationship to one another, in life, work, worship, pain, and death. Not that such a relationship is to be regarded either as a matter of convenience or as a question of organization. On the contrary, this intimate relationship is seen as the direct outcome of the saving work of Christ. This unity with one another, and of local churches with each other, is the unity which belongs to the Body of Christ, arising from the unity of God Himself, uttered in the dying and rising again of Jesus, and now expressed in the order and structure of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thirsty Earth soaks up the Rain, And drinks, and gapes for Drink again;  The Plants suck in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13001]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thirsty Earth soaks up the Rain, And drinks, and gapes for Drink again;  The Plants suck in the Earth and are   With constant Drinking fresh and fair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius creates, and taste preserves.

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And since the stench of death will always attract flies and vermin, the arrival of Geraldo was perhaps inevitable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58828]]></link><description><![CDATA[And since the stench of death will always attract flies and vermin, the arrival of Geraldo was perhaps inevitable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do the Yankees always win?
