"That must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with earthquake. When he comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity which He occupies into some inhuman shape." Instead of that, this new life into which God comes, seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together, that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His Divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of my merit On that pint you yourself may jedge:  All is, I never drink no sperit,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of my merit On that pint you yourself may jedge:  All is, I never drink no sperit,   Nor I haint never signed no pledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The conception that government should be guided by majority opinion makes sense only if that opinion is independent of government. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47390]]></link><description><![CDATA[The conception that government should be guided by majority opinion makes sense only if that opinion is independent of government. The ideal of democracy rests on the belief that the view which will direct government emerges from an independent and spontaneous process. It requires, therefore, the existence of a large sphere independent of majority control in which the opinions of the individuals are formed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like a Bull Moose.   - Theodore Roosevelt, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57946]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel like a Bull Moose.   - Theodore Roosevelt,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the communities of the faithful, men had to impress upon themselves and upon others what Jesus said and did, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6195]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the communities of the faithful, men had to impress upon themselves and upon others what Jesus said and did, for the more convinced they were that he was neither a Jewish pretender nor an unsubstantial deity like one of the deities of the cults, the more urgent it was for them to recall that his words were the rule of their life, and that his actions in history had created their position in the world; they had to think out their faith, to state it against outside criticism, and to teach it within their own circle, instead of being content with it as a mere emotion; they had also to refresh their courage by anticipating the future, which they believed was in the hands of their Lord. The common basis of their life was the conviction that they enjoyed a new relationship with God, for which they were indebted to Jesus. The technical term for this relationship was "covenant", and "covenant" became eventually in their vocabulary "testament". Hence the later name for these writings of the church, when gathered into a sacred collection, was "The New Testament" -- New because the older relationship of God to his people, which had obtained under Judaism, with its Old Testament was superseded by the faith and fellowship which Jesus Christ his Son had inaugurated. It was the consciousness of this that inspired the early Christians to live, and to write about the origin and applications of this new life. They wrote for their own age, without a thought of posterity, and they did not write in unison but in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boldness is ever blind, for it sees not dangers and inconveniences whence it is bad in council though good in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boldness is ever blind, for it sees not dangers and inconveniences whence it is bad in council though good in execution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1651]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to help get the information out to people while there's still an opportunity to make changes in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41618]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to help get the information out to people while there's still an opportunity to make changes in the plan,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45506]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it. -Harry S Truman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18380]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's beautiful when two strangers become best friends, it's terribly depressing when two best friends become strangers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63105]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's beautiful when two strangers become best friends, it's terribly depressing when two best friends become strangers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[FIRE HAS LEFT THE HEARTH Fire has left the hearth Nautilus climbed from shell Perfume flowed from bottle Prisoner gone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18359]]></link><description><![CDATA[FIRE HAS LEFT THE HEARTH Fire has left the hearth Nautilus climbed from shell Perfume flowed from bottle Prisoner gone from cell Butterfly flutterbied cocoon nor hand restrained by glove Jesus away from manger Cage left by Spirit Dove. Sparklings soared away from wand. Chick's egg become the bird. Omkar sung from out the throat Violin's notes now heard. Buddhist temple pine cone tabernacle'd godlet seed Shattered that it might manifest thousand forests of fir tree Eternal snow of mountain top now nurses meadow flowers. Shining never held by sun relentless melts ice towers. Love has left its spring the heart Is now a liquid pond Host stolen from the chalice consumed in mouth of God Starlight abandoned star a billion years ago Left that tonight you might have its sight and know Know Love is forever no drop of God ever dies Lover not bound by form of love God's bodies are not God's souls (to his wife and children on the death of Robert S) (Baba Hari Das: is the author of love is more powerful than lover for love is not bound by form).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have received no more than one or two letters in my life that were worth the postage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24648]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have received no more than one or two letters in my life that were worth the postage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams come true;

Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can honestly say that we've had the best year that we have ever had here in my tenure.
