When, unarmed and defenseless, He said to the Roman power, "My Kingdom is not of this world," He spoke the word of inauguration. Over the kingdom of the elemental forces, over the kingdom of the animal, over the kingdom of the intellect, He beheld rising, with Himself as prophet and embodiment, that kingdom of the spiritual whose forces should be those of purity and sacrifice, love and trust, obedience and service. It is the last of the kingdoms because it is the highest; it will be the most enduring for there is nothing that can take its place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The smallest errors are always the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes erreurs sont toujours les meilleures.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14165]]></link><description><![CDATA[The smallest errors are always the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes erreurs sont toujours les meilleures.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Setting aside the scandal caused by His Messianic claims and His reputation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6874]]></link><description><![CDATA[THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Setting aside the scandal caused by His Messianic claims and His reputation as a political firebrand, only two accusations of personal depravity seem to have been brought against Jesus of Nazareth. First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I would rather be a servant in the House of the Lord than to sit in the seats of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17693]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I would rather be a servant in the House of the Lord than to sit in the seats of the mighty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tennis is an individual sport.

But this tension is not something that concerns the Church and the world as though they are things which exist outside us and apart from us, which we can consider and observe and discuss and have theories about. The tension between the Church and the world exists within us and is the very fiber of our being, and neither the one nor the other is superficial or trivial. For we are, all of us, of the earth, earthy; and we are also baptized members of Christ and His Church. It is precisely because we belong to two worlds that our lives consist in insecurity -- that we are, in fact, a drama, the final act of which, the judgement of reward or punishment, heaven or hell, is hidden from us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are, while human miseries abound, A thousand ways to waste superfluous wealth,  Without one fool or flatterer at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61371]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are, while human miseries abound, A thousand ways to waste superfluous wealth,  Without one fool or flatterer at your board,   Without one hour of sickness or disgust.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Riches are first to be sought for; after wealth, virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Riches are first to be sought for; after wealth, virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[heat from impending searches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38669]]></link><description><![CDATA[heat from impending searches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have achieved our leadership position in the teleservices industry by committing to continual development and improvement of our service ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31432]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have achieved our leadership position in the teleservices industry by committing to continual development and improvement of our service offerings, as well as the quality of our call center agents.

But the Ant went on its way andcontinued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had nofood and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the antsdistributing every day corn and grain from the stores they hadcollected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We never know the love of the parent till we become parents ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45533]]></link><description><![CDATA[We never know the love of the parent till we become parents ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Albrecht Dürer, artist, 1528, and Michelangelo Buonarrotti, artist, spiritual writer, 1564  It is my opinion that art ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7797]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Albrecht Dürer, artist, 1528, and Michelangelo Buonarrotti, artist, spiritual writer, 1564  It is my opinion that art lost its basic creative drive the moment it was separated from worship.

Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.
