Even if we were first to grant the presence of a "Christendom" situation [where] Church and State would be virtually coextensive, the nation of Israel would still remain unique. The focus of salvation is on the historical action of God in forming a people for Himself, and there is no indication anywhere in the Bible that God promises political salvation even inside the context of the full salvation of His people, let alone outside it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During his lifetime, when he was insulted or encountered offensive behavior, he did not respond with rage or violence.

Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace...

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live under a government of men and morning newspapers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44499]]></link><description><![CDATA[We live under a government of men and morning newspapers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has continued to move, and I've got to assume right now it's about 55 (percent against) to 30 (in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31216]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has continued to move, and I've got to assume right now it's about 55 (percent against) to 30 (in favor), with the rest undecided.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Look to the lilies how they grow!" 'Twas thus the Saviour said, that we,  Even in the simplest flowers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25088]]></link><description><![CDATA["Look to the lilies how they grow!" 'Twas thus the Saviour said, that we,  Even in the simplest flowers that blow,   God's ever-watchful care might see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you got in a scene with Don, it was like stepping up onto a surfboard, and you just flew ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33733]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you got in a scene with Don, it was like stepping up onto a surfboard, and you just flew through those waves.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All say, "How hard it is that we have to die" - a strange complaint to come from the mouths ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11280]]></link><description><![CDATA[All say, "How hard it is that we have to die" - a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good Friday  Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761  Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good Friday  Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761  Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Priest, Scientist, Visionary, 1955  Our Blessed Lord hath recommended His love to us as the pattern and the example of our love to one another. As, therefore, He is continually making intercession for us all, so ought we to intercede and pray for one another. "A new commandment," saith He, "I give unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye love one another." The newness of this precept did not consist in this, that men were commanded to love one another for this was an old precept, both of the law of Moses and of nature. But it was new in this respect, that it was to initiate a new and, till then, unheard-of example of love; it was to love one another as Christ had loved us. And if men are to know that we are disciples of Christ, by thus loving one another according to His new example of love, then it is certain that if we are void of this love we make it as plainly known unto men that we are none of His disciples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worldly fame is but a breath of wind that blows now this way, and now that, and changes name as it changes direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's difficult to appreciate the value of others when your own self assessment is over valued. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63220]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's difficult to appreciate the value of others when your own self assessment is over valued.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time I try to define a perfectly stable person, I am appalled by the dullness of that person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time I try to define a perfectly stable person, I am appalled by the dullness of that person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57023]]></link><description><![CDATA[Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.
