Christians are to be the makers of Christ's peace. Something we can all do is to reconcile individuals, families, classes, churches, nations. The question is, Are we, as churchmen and citizens, by work and by prayer, in our private conduct and our public action, doing our utmost with deliberate, unsparing effort! If so, our benediction is of the highest: it is to be, and to be acknowledged as being, sons of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64951]]></link><description><![CDATA[All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behind the words of Jesus and the memories about him, there shines forth a self-authenticating portrait of a real person ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behind the words of Jesus and the memories about him, there shines forth a self-authenticating portrait of a real person in all his human uniqueness, an impression which is accessible alike to the layman and to the expert, to believer and non-believer. No reader of the gospel story can fail to be impressed by Jesus' humble submission to the will of his God on the one hand, and his mastery of all situations on the other; by his penetrating discernment of human motives and his authoritative demand of radical obedience on the one hand, and his gracious, forgiving acceptance of sinners on the other. There is nothing, either in the Messianic hopes of pre-Christian Judaism or in the later Messianic beliefs of the early Christian Church to account for this portrait. It is characterized by an originality and freshness which is beyond the power of invention.

If therefore we depart without profit, our zeal in frequenting the church will prove our condemnation. That so great a judgment comes not upon you, when ye go hence ponder the things ye have heard, and exercise yourselves in confirming our instruction -- friend with friend, fathers with their children, masters with their slaves -- so that, when ye return hither and hear from us the same counsels, ye may not be ashamed, but rejoice and be glad in the conviction that ye have put into practice the greater part of our exhortation. Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vulgar boil, the learned roast, an egg. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10139]]></link><description><![CDATA[The vulgar boil, the learned roast, an egg.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have got up at truly deplorable hours in the morning to confront Vancouver's Jack Webster on television because I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29852]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have got up at truly deplorable hours in the morning to confront Vancouver's Jack Webster on television because I have been told that is the place to get exposure for ideas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The achievements which society rewards are won at the cost of diminution of personality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46216]]></link><description><![CDATA[The achievements which society rewards are won at the cost of diminution of personality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lucy, Martyr at Syracuse, 304 Commemoration of Samuel Johnson, Writer, Moralist, 1784   Almighty and most merciful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lucy, Martyr at Syracuse, 304 Commemoration of Samuel Johnson, Writer, Moralist, 1784   Almighty and most merciful Father, I again appear in Thy presence the wretched misspender of another year which Thy mercy has allowed me.
