My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man shapes himself through decision that shape his environment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man shapes himself through decision that shape his environment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If solid happiness we prize, Within our breast this jewel lies,  And they are fools who roam;   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18645]]></link><description><![CDATA[If solid happiness we prize, Within our breast this jewel lies,  And they are fools who roam;   The world has nothing to bestow,    From our own selves our bliss must flow,     And that dear hut,--our home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know, it would have been harder on me had those guys been 10-year vets, ...

Because it rests on Christ and his authority, the question of inerrancy will therefore remain a key doctrine of the evangelical church so long as Christ is Lord. Evangelicals must remember, however, that this basis must be set forth anew for every generation. What was adequate for Gaussen, Pieper, and Warfield is still valuable, but it is not necessarily adequate to serve as the foundation for the thinking of our generation. The case for inerrancy must be made anew with each presentation of the gospel teaching.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[18 straight whiskies - I think that's a record. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24150]]></link><description><![CDATA[18 straight whiskies - I think that's a record.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the daylight of Life, which they are thenceforth to rule.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him asleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6018]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him asleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rain forest has spent a lot of money and done extensive research on Johnson County and the Corridor.

The shared life of the Christian community must become a context in which the differing gifts can be used for each other. There is much still to be learned about this. Are the homes of married Christians an added support for the single? Is the availability of the single Christian put at the disposal of his married friends, for "babysitting" duties and the like. And what is true of the mutual support of married and single needs to be true in a wider way of the care exercised by the married and the single for each other, so that nobody's home life becomes completely cut off from support and help.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25075]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[1a 'a n, pl a's or as 'az often cap, often attrib (bef. 12c) 1 a : the 1st letter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4614]]></link><description><![CDATA[1a 'a n, pl a's or as 'az often cap, often attrib (bef. 12c) 1 a : the 1st letter of the English alphabet b : a representation of this letter c : a speech counterpart of orthographic a 2 : the 6th tone of a C-major scale 3 : a graphic device for reproducing the letter a 4 : one designated a esp. as the 1st in order or class 5 a : a grade rating a student's work as superior in quality b : one graded or rated with an A 6 : something shaped like the letter A   - Unattributed Author,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Red velvet roomrolls me in its mouthand swallows me to sleep**. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Red velvet roomrolls me in its mouthand swallows me to sleep**.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not a trivial matter.

And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love, hope, fear, faith--these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love, hope, fear, faith--these make humanity; These are its sign and note and character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9643]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moon is at her full, and riding high, Floods the calm fields with light.  The airs that hover ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43062]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moon is at her full, and riding high, Floods the calm fields with light.  The airs that hover in the summer sky   Are all asleep to-night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How a society channels male aggression is one of the greatest questions as to whether that society will survive.
