Not by making vast claims for himself, though such claims were implicit. His authority seemed to reside in what he was and what he did rather than in what he specifically claimed to be. Especially in Mark's Gospel there is an elusive quality about his authority, the mystery of the hidden Messiah. His authority was at the same time most deeply hidden and most clearly expressed by his servanthood... The more the Church in its life shows forth the character of the Servant, the more will its teaching bear the marks of the authority of the Servant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The prerequisite of originality is the art of forgetting, at the proper moment, what we know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52027]]></link><description><![CDATA[The prerequisite of originality is the art of forgetting, at the proper moment, what we know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The players want to get in the playoffs and win a championship for Bob.

"I do not envy those who have to fight the battle of Christianity in the twentieth century," wrote Marcus Dods. "Yes, perhaps I do; but it will be a stiff fight." Of course, he did, and anybody with his valiant spirit would. There was a day when our Lord passed through cheering streets wildly enthusiastic; and another day when He watched the crowds deserting Him, till even the disciples themselves seemed to be withering, and He looked at them sadly. "Will you also go away?" He said. And Peter strode across the sudden empty spaces widening around Him, and put his back to Christ's. "No", he cried; "there are two of us, at least", and faced the world, Christ's poor minority of one. I would rather have been Peter than one of the shouting mob. And today, perhaps, we may get our chance of that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The republic of letters. [Fr., La republique des lettres.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25259]]></link><description><![CDATA[The republic of letters. [Fr., La republique des lettres.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65213]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4515]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15897]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The words of the world want to make sentences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4707]]></link><description><![CDATA[The words of the world want to make sentences.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man met a lad weeping.
