The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730  The indwelling of Christ's Spirit means not only moral discernment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730  The indwelling of Christ's Spirit means not only moral discernment but moral power. Paul's count against the Law is that it was impotent through the flesh. Against this impotence Paul sets the ethical competence of the Spirit. "I can do anything in Him who makes me strong," (Phil. 4:13) he exclaims. For his friends in Asia he prays "that God may grant you, according to the wealth of His splendour, to be made strong with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your trust in Him." (Eph. 3:16-17) This is the antithesis of the dismal picture presented in Romans 7, and it comes, just as evidently as that, out of experience. Indeed, we may say that the thing above all which distinguished the early Christian community from its environment was the moral competence of its members. In order to maintain this we need not idealize unduly the early Christians. There were sins and scandals at Corinth and Ephesus, but it was impossible to miss the note of genuine power of renewal and recuperation -- the power of the simple person progressively to approximate to his moral ideals in spite of failures. The very fact that the term "Spirit" is used points to a sense of something essentially "supernatural" in such ethical attainments. For the primitive Christians the Spirit was manifested in what they regarded as miraculous. Paul does not whittle away the miraculous sense when he transfers it to the moral sphere. He concentrates attention on the moral miracle as something more wonderful far than any "speaking with tongues." So fully convinced is he of the new and miraculous nature of this moral power that he can regard the Christian as a "new creation." (II Cor. 5:17) This is not the old person at all: it is a "new man," "created in Christ Jesus for good deeds." (Eph. 2:10) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the twilight of morning to climb to the top of the mountain,-- Thee to salute, kindly star, earliest herald ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59920]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the twilight of morning to climb to the top of the mountain,-- Thee to salute, kindly star, earliest herald of day,--  And to await, with impatience, the gaze of the ruler of heaven.--   Youthful delight, oh, how oft lur'st thou me out in the night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is only a modification of talent.

And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a brunette, I had previously been this serious actress.
