And yet the saving principles of the world are rooted in Christ, implanted in him; the Truth by which men live is the Truth as taught and lived by Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like to hurt people, I really don't like it at all.

This faith, once given, proved to be -- like the Person who gave rise to it -- essentially self-authenticating. And ever since, the Church has looked to the Cross, a symbol of weakness, as its unique source of power in preaching the Gospel, its authority both to teach and to preach has been of this kind. No amount of liaison between the Church and the source of any other authority, political or moral, must be allowed to obscure the simplicity -- and the mystery -- of the authority of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3974]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the possible exception of the equator, everything begins somewhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hastiness is the beginning of wrath, and its end repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50724]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hastiness is the beginning of wrath, and its end repentance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the heart of this all is Andy - was Andy.
