Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65298]]></link><description><![CDATA[The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they could forget for a moment the correggiosity of Correggio and the learned babble of the sale-room and varnishing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45414]]></link><description><![CDATA[If they could forget for a moment the correggiosity of Correggio and the learned babble of the sale-room and varnishing Auctioneer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is no struggle, there is no strength. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43348]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Narcissus is the glory of his race: For who does nothing with a better grace? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Narcissus is the glory of his race: For who does nothing with a better grace?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as U.S. and UK forces hold prisoners in secret detention conditions, torture is much more likely to occur, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39545]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as U.S. and UK forces hold prisoners in secret detention conditions, torture is much more likely to occur, to go undetected and to go unpunished.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or were I in the wildest waste, Sae bleak and bare, sae bleak and bare,  The desert were a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45462]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or were I in the wildest waste, Sae bleak and bare, sae bleak and bare,  The desert were a paradise   If thou wert there, if thou were there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is probably nothing like living together for blinding people to each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25416]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is probably nothing like living together for blinding people to each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Luke the Evangelist  Continuing a series on the church:  The doctrine of the "body" in First ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Luke the Evangelist  Continuing a series on the church:  The doctrine of the "body" in First Corinthians... is a picture of the local church, (which) is distinguished by a great variety of gifts, outlooks, and cultures. The various members belong organically to each other in Christ, and are to exhibit that harmony practically in their common life. The recognition of how they differ from each other, and are yet one, is to enrich their worship, inspire their ministry, and quicken their love. To divide the local church is... to witness to a divided Christ, or to a discipleship to lesser masters than Christ, such as Paul or Apollos. Both implications are equally unthinkable. There is no New Testament pattern of serving the one Christ, except in one local body, formed by the incorporation given in the one baptism, and the continued life sustained by breaking and sharing the one bread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It feels good to blame someone else, especially if they are smaller than you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13664]]></link><description><![CDATA[It feels good to blame someone else, especially if they are smaller than you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christianity is a battle, not a dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7384]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christianity is a battle, not a dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee will spend a whole yeares rent at one meales meate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee will spend a whole yeares rent at one meales meate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I have ever met. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7895]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I have ever met.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7895</guid></item></channel></rss>
