"Follow me," "come unto me," and "ye will not come unto me," indicate sufficiently that what he offered to men was himself. He seeks to win men's acceptance of the truth that had come in him. His words and deeds served to indicate what manner of man he was and what kind of work he had come to do; and all the time it is a person addressing persons, seeking to gain their recognition of and their self-commitment to himself. He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way of setting the will free is to deliver it from wilfulness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61596]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way of setting the will free is to deliver it from wilfulness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who avoids complaint invites happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63866]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who avoids complaint invites happiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise men ne'er wail their present woes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise men ne'er wail their present woes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the job of the coaching staff to turn that into a positive.

The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mission is to kill time, and time's to kill me in its turn.
