It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For many are called, but few are chosen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6052]]></link><description><![CDATA[For many are called, but few are chosen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are times when a battle decides everything, and there are times when the most insignificant thing can decide the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11596]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are times when a battle decides everything, and there are times when the most insignificant thing can decide the outcome of a battle]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Would they want Jeff Bagwell now making $17 million, or opt for access to $15 million?

Our argument does not claim that evidences are so clear that faith is not needed. We do intend to imply, however, that the choice of a set of assumptions is a moral choice. Adherence to an epistemology is not something which merely "happens to" a person, but instead it reflects a component of his moral development. In some sense he is, in my judgment, morally responsible for adopting an epistemology even though it can be neither proved nor disproved to the satisfaction of those who oppose it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bear and the Two TravelersTwo men were traveling together, when a Bear suddenly met them on their path.

One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60813]]></link><description><![CDATA[The superior man thinks always of virtue; the common man thinks of comfort.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is going down: the price of the dollar, the price of stocks, the price of bonds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is going down: the price of the dollar, the price of stocks, the price of bonds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a small, limited experience, but it has enough follow-up to show us that tissue engineering is a viable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29517]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a small, limited experience, but it has enough follow-up to show us that tissue engineering is a viable tool that will allow us to tackle problems of similar magnitude.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boxing purists, quite naturally, question Tyson's appetite for victory.

Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of the things the business people in the rich world wanted, they got in the Uruguay Round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of the things the business people in the rich world wanted, they got in the Uruguay Round.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among Christians so much prominence has been given to the disciplinary effects of sorrow, affliction, bereavement, that they have been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among Christians so much prominence has been given to the disciplinary effects of sorrow, affliction, bereavement, that they have been in danger of overlooking the other and more obvious side: that by every joy, by every favor, by every sign of prosperity -- yea, and by these chiefly -- God designs to educate and discipline His children.
