But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're all stumbling towards the light with varying degrees of grace at any given moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18098]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're all stumbling towards the light with varying degrees of grace at any given moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, Spiritual Writer, 1688  [John Bunyan] had to live through that obscure night -- "wide, vast, and lonely" -- which fell upon St. John of the Cross before; like him, he knew that grace would enter "the dark caverns where the senses live". In the meantime, Bunyan tossed to and fro, as it were between heaven and hell. It has been said that he paints too dark a picture of his moral condition when a young man, that he exaggerates his wickedness at this period, and afterwards wrestles with phantoms of his vivid imagination. But spiritual sins, though not so obvious as those that are sensual, may be just as real; and Bunyan's intensity of feeling and expression arose from the intensity of his spiritual nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more you hide your feelings, the more they show.

One does not find the optative forms of polite petition so characteristic of elaborate requests made to earthly and heavenly potentates. Rather than employing such august forms, the Christians made their requests to God in what seem to be blunt imperatives. This does not mean that Christians lacked respect for their heavenly father, but it does mean that they were consistent with a new understanding of Him. In the tens of thousands of papyri fragments which have been rescued from the rubbish heaps of the ancient Greek world, one finds the imperative forms used constantly between members of a family. When the Christians addressed God as "Father," it was perfectly natural therefore for them to talk to Him as intimately as they would to their own father. Unfortunately, the history of our own English language has almost reversed this process. Originally, men used "thou" and "thee" in prayer because it was the appropriate familiar form of address; but now these words have become relegated to prayer alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We climbed on the fire truck and I drove it, but it didn't move because I don't have my license. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29048]]></link><description><![CDATA[We climbed on the fire truck and I drove it, but it didn't move because I don't have my license.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However boldly their warm blood was spilt, Their life was shame, their epitaph was guilt;  And this they knew ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18460]]></link><description><![CDATA[However boldly their warm blood was spilt, Their life was shame, their epitaph was guilt;  And this they knew and felt, at least the one,   The leader of the hand he had undone,--    Who, born for better things, had madly set     His life upon a cast, which linger'd yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O coward conscience, how dost thou afflict me! -King Richard III.
