And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Etiquette requires us to admire the human race ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Etiquette requires us to admire the human race]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you 'll start having positive results. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you 'll start having positive results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple of his argument. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

Who among his disciples or among their proselytes was capable of inventing the sayings of Jesus or of imagining the life and character revealed in the Gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly not St. Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally different sort; still less the early Christian writers, in whom nothing is more evident than that the good which was in them was all derived, as they always professed that it was derived, from the higher source.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am accustomed to sleep and in my dreams to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12956]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am accustomed to sleep and in my dreams to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to inspire confidence, give plenty of statistics.

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we have to keep the proper perspective on high school sports.
