Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43963]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is that in the glance of a flower which may at times control the greatest of creation's braggart lords.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're not missing in the traditional sense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34696]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're not missing in the traditional sense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus when I shun Scylla, your father, I fall into Charybdis, your mother. -The Merchant of Venice.

It lay in the relationship he held with God. We know the familiar idea of Jesus' oneness with God: only we deal with it too much as a doctrine of the Church, not as an element in Jesus' own experience. If we never find it in reality, in life, we cannot reveal the true Christ-like character at all -- we will always be trying earnestly to be something, but on too superficial and obvious a plane.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn June 28, 1996 Feast of Irenêus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  The Church exists, and does not depend for its existence upon our definition of it: it exists wherever God in His sovereign freedom calls it into being by calling his own into the fellowship of His Son. And it exists solely by His mercy. God shuts up and will shut up every way except the way of faith which simply accepts His mercy as mercy. To that end, He is free to break off unbelieving branches, to graft in wild slips, and to call "No people" His people. And if, at the end, those who have preserved through all the centuries the visible "marks" of the Church find themselves at the same board with some strange and uncouth late-comers on the ecclesiastical scene, may we not fancy that they will hear Him say -- would it not be so like him to say -- "It is my will to give unto these last even as unto thee"? Final judgement belongs to God, and we have to beware of judging before the time. I think that if we refuse fellowship in Christ to any body of men and women who accept Jesus as Lord and show the fruits of His Spirit in their corporate life, we do so at our peril. It behooves us, therefore, to receive one another as Christ has received us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friendly swarry, consisting of a boiled leg of mutton with the usual trimmings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13188]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friendly swarry, consisting of a boiled leg of mutton with the usual trimmings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At this point we are comfortable with our relationship with the CDC and confident that they will inform us if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39582]]></link><description><![CDATA[At this point we are comfortable with our relationship with the CDC and confident that they will inform us if the situation changes that mandates a different approach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a sickness full of woes,    All remedies refusing; A plant that with most cutting grows, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is a sickness full of woes,    All remedies refusing; A plant that with most cutting grows,    Most barren with best using.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it more fit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27765]]></link><description><![CDATA[To look backward for a while is to refresh the eye, to restore it, and to render it more fit for its prime function of looking forward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink;  Water, water, everywhere,   Nor any drop to drink. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61290]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink;  Water, water, everywhere,   Nor any drop to drink.    The very deep did rot: O Christ!     That ever this should be!      Yes, slimy things did crawl with legs       Upon the slimy sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man's road in life is marked by the graves of his personal likings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man's road in life is marked by the graves of his personal likings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have powers you never dreamed of.
