It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond?

A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling.

It is because His sufferings, His death and cross, were the fulness of His victory over all the works of the devil. Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ. Well, therefore, may the cross of Christ be the glory of Christians!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Economy is for the poor; the rich may dispense with it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Economy is for the poor; the rich may dispense with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You talk about some destiny out here.
