There is an apparent contradiction here, for how can we abide, and yet advance? It is a paradox, like much else in scripture; but Christian experience proves it true. Those make the best progress in religion who hold fast by the faith once for all delivered to the saints, and not those who drift away from their moorings, rudderless upon a sea of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19527]]></link><description><![CDATA[The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neutral men are the devil's allies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neutral men are the devil's allies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What cracker is this same that deafs our ears With this abundance of superfluous breath? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58622]]></link><description><![CDATA[What cracker is this same that deafs our ears With this abundance of superfluous breath?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A winning smile makes winners of us all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56664]]></link><description><![CDATA[A winning smile makes winners of us all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I figured maybe it was some sort of a surprise celebration for our new Teacher of the Year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29046]]></link><description><![CDATA[I figured maybe it was some sort of a surprise celebration for our new Teacher of the Year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Institutions can never conserve without betraying the movements from which they proceed.

The institution is static, whereas its parent movement has been dynamic; it confines men within its limits, while the movement had liberated them from the bondage of institutions; it looks to the past, [although] the movement had pointed forward. Though in content the institution resembles the dynamic epoch whence it proceeded, in spirit it is like the [state] before the revolution. So the Christian church, after the early period, often seemed more closely related in attitude to the Jewish synagogue and the Roman state than to the age of Christ and his apostles; its creed was often more like a system of philosophy than like the living gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Put your heart, mind, intellect, and soul even into your smallest acts.
