But the things of the soul are far more momentous, and to be asked to deal with huge, unfathomable facts like the Cross in a few minutes, means that people are not really interested in these things. This is, of course, a snippety age, with a snippety press, and snippety novels.

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[Give me someone who has been picked by the Democratic Party, and then all of us can put our dollars ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30905]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me someone who has been picked by the Democratic Party, and then all of us can put our dollars into that one race,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have no confidence in self you are twice defeated in the race of life.

We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A curst Cow hath short hornes. [A curst cow has short horns.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49008]]></link><description><![CDATA[A curst Cow hath short hornes. [A curst cow has short horns.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ricky was "L" but he's home with the flu,Lizzie, our "O," had some homework to do,Mitchell, "E" prob'ly got lost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10925]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ricky was "L" but he's home with the flu,Lizzie, our "O," had some homework to do,Mitchell, "E" prob'ly got lost on the way,So I'm all of the love that could make it today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour only the dead -- these the living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25423]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour only the dead -- these the living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend called me up the other day and talked about investing in a dot-com that sells lobsters.
