Or dare we do what our Lord did, and see the Name hallowed in all life that is real and honest and good? Indeed, it was a scandal to the religious men of Jesus' day when they saw what He did with sacred things. With Jesus all life was sacred and nothing was profane until sin entered in. And so it was that the word "common," which used to mean profane and unclean, became the New-Testament word for the Communion of Saints and for the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not want to provoke a frontal confrontation between the students and the military because if that happens, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33547]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not want to provoke a frontal confrontation between the students and the military because if that happens, the whole society loses because it would only lead to more anarchical violence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is power; with time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes silk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45746]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is power; with time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes silk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is held to be the severest test of character.

It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins. Love between a man and a woman is founded on the mating instinct and is not free from desire and self-seeking. But to have a friend and to be true under any and all trials is the mark of a man!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great pity were it if this beneficence of Providence should be marr'd in the ordering, so as to justly merit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great pity were it if this beneficence of Providence should be marr'd in the ordering, so as to justly merit the Reflection of the old proverb, that though God sends us meat, yet the D------does cooks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a blue print for how to make a national or state fund work after the success of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39196]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a blue print for how to make a national or state fund work after the success of the Florida catastrophe fund.

Not along this track lies the path of moral progress. Christianity says: face the evil once for all, and disown it. Then quiet the spirit in the presence of God. Let His perfections fill the field of vision. In particular, let the concrete embodiment of the goodness of God in Christ attract and absorb the gaze of the soul. Here is the righteousness, not as a fixed and abstract ideal, but in a living human person. The righteousness of Christ is a real achievement of God's own Spirit in man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without justice, courage is weak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without justice, courage is weak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more gross the fraud, the more glibly will it go down and the more greedily will it be swallowed, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10626]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more gross the fraud, the more glibly will it go down and the more greedily will it be swallowed, since folly will always find faith wherever imposters will find impudence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things just kind of built from there.

When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were all ready to play.
