Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boils and plagues Plaster you o'er, that you may be abhorr'd  Further than seen, . . . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boils and plagues Plaster you o'er, that you may be abhorr'd  Further than seen, . . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why should Ireland be treated as a geographical fragment of England . . .

Friedrich von Hügel August 9, 2000 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   When evangelicals call the Bible "inerrant", part at least of their meaning is this: that, in exegesis and exposition of Scripture and in building up our biblical theology from the fruits of our Bible study, we may not (1) deny, disregard, or arbitrarily relativize, anything that the biblical writers teach, nor (2) discount any of the practical implications for worship and service that their teaching carries, nor (3) cut the knot of any problem of Bible harmony, factual or theological, by allowing ourselves to assume that the inspired writers were not necessarily consistent either with themselves or with each other. It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're comfortable that if the Time Warner partnership is not attributable to AT&T that we can fit under the 30 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42519]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're comfortable that if the Time Warner partnership is not attributable to AT&T that we can fit under the 30 percent cap,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can measure a man's character by the choices he makes underpressure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57670]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can measure a man's character by the choices he makes underpressure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13506]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never let a fool kiss you, or a kiss fool you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never let a fool kiss you, or a kiss fool you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind?  Should auld acquaintance be forgot,   And days ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16863]]></link><description><![CDATA[Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind?  Should auld acquaintance be forgot,   And days o' lang syne?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And daisy-stars, whose firmament is green. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10990]]></link><description><![CDATA[And daisy-stars, whose firmament is green.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems  To lie before us like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems  To lie before us like a land of dreams,   So various, so beautiful, so new,    Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,     Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men as a whole judge more with their eyes than with their hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men as a whole judge more with their eyes than with their hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  There are, of course, interesting questions that can be asked about the nature of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  There are, of course, interesting questions that can be asked about the nature of the transformation which our Lord's body underwent in his resurrection, and if we know anything about physics and biology we are quite likely to ask them. But, since we are concerned with an occurrence which is by hypothesis unique in certain relevant aspects, we are most unlikely to be able to give confident answers to them. [Paul M.] van Buren's remarks about biology and the twentieth century are nothing more than rhetoric or, at best, are simply empirical statements about his own psychology. The first century knew as well as the twentieth that dead bodies do not naturally come to life again, and no amount of twentieth-century knowledge about natural processes can tell us what may happen by supernatural means.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a point in portraying surface vulgarity where tragedy and comedy are very close. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61044]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a point in portraying surface vulgarity where tragedy and comedy are very close.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people seek after what they do not possess and are thus enslaved by the very things they want to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people seek after what they do not possess and are thus enslaved by the very things they want to acquire.
