Certainly Jeremiah was no integrated personality. It is doubtful if... he ever knew the meaning of the word "peace". We have no evidence that his internal struggle was ever ended, although the passing years no doubt brought an increasing acceptance of destiny. Jeremiah, if his "confessions" are any index, needed a course in pastoral psychiatry in the very worst way... The feeling cannot be escaped that if Jeremiah had been integrated, it would have been at the cost of ceasing to be Jeremiah! A man at peace simply could not be a Jeremiah. Spiritual health is good; mental assurance is good; but the summons of faith is neither to an integrated personality nor to the laying-by of all questions, but to the dedication of personality -- with all its fears and questions -- to its duty and destiny under God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But with the morning cool repentance came. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53825]]></link><description><![CDATA[But with the morning cool repentance came.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, Fallen from his high estate,  And welt'ring in his blood;   Deserted at his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen, Fallen from his high estate,  And welt'ring in his blood;   Deserted at his utmost need,    By those his former bounty fed;     On the bare earth expos'd he lies,      With not a friend to close his eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, it's not many people from there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34764]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, it's not many people from there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is a lifelong experience.

He is free to move from place to place, from job to job, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and -- if he has attained a high degree of emancipation -- from wife to wife. He is in every context a more and more anonymous and replaceable part, the perfect incarnation of the rationalist conception of man. Wherever western civilization has spread in the past one hundred years, it has carried this atomizing process with it. Its characteristic product in Calcutta, Shanghai, or Johannesburg, is the modern city into which myriads of human beings, loosened from their old ties in village or tribe or caste, like grains of sand fretted by water from an ancient block of sandstone, are ceaselessly churned around in the whirlpool of the city -- anonymous, identical, replaceable units. In such a situation, it is natural that men should long for some sort of real community, for men cannot be human without it. It is especially natural that Christians should reach out after that part of Christian doctrine which speaks of the true, God-given community, the Church of Jesus Christ. We have witnessed the appalling results of trying to go back to some sort of primitive collectivity based on the total control of the individual, down to the depths of his spirit, by an all-powerful group. Yet we know that we cannot condemn this solution to the problem of man's loneliness if we have no other to offer. It is natural that men should ask with a greater eagerness than ever before, such questions as these: "Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found, what are its marks, and how is it related to, and dis tinguished from, the known communities of family, nation, and culture? What are its boundaries, its structure, its terms of membership? And how comes it that those who claim to be the spokesmen of that one holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature, and unable to agree to live together in unity and concord?" The breakdown of Christendom has forced such questions as these to the front. I think that there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give them plain and credible answers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be truly selfish one needs a degree of self-esteem.
