Because of the role they have been willing to play, when they use the word God it is heard in a certain way. It is heard, often with deference and usually with courtesy, as a word referring to the linchpin of the era of Christendom (past) or as the totem of one of the tribal subcultures (irrelevant). The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is present by love alone.

By love alone He is great and glorious. By love alone He liveth and feeleth in other persons. By love alone He enjoyeth all the creatures, by love alone He is pleasing to Himself, by love alone He is rich and blessed. O, why dost not thou by love alone seek to achieve all these, by love alone attain another self, by love alone live in others, by love attain thy glory? The same is shriveled up and buried in a grave that does not love. But that which does love wisely and truly is the joy and end of all the world, the King of Heaven and the friend of God, the shining light and temple of eternity, the brother of Jesus Christ, and one spirit with the Holy Ghost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hair is the richest ornament of women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18596]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hair is the richest ornament of women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Tyndale, Translator of the Scriptures, Martyr, 1536   [William Tyndale] was a master of a simple ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Tyndale, Translator of the Scriptures, Martyr, 1536   [William Tyndale] was a master of a simple and forceful literary style. This, combined with exactness and breadth of scholarship, led him so to translate the Greek New Testament into English as largely to determine the character, form, and style of the Authorized Version. There have been some painstaking calculations to determine just how large a part Tyndale may have had in the production of the version of 1611. A comparison of Tyndale's version of I John and that of the Authorized Version shows that nine-tenths of the latter is retained from the martyred translator's work. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians retains five-sixths of Tyndale's translation. These proportions are maintained throughout the entire New Testament. Such an influence as that upon the English Bible cannot be attributed to any other man in all the past. More than that, Tyndale set a standard for the English language that molded in part the character and style of the tongue during the great Elizabethan era and all subsequent time. He gave the language fixity, volubleness, grace, beauty, simplicity, and directness. His influence as a man of letters was permanent on the style and literary taste of the English people, and of all who admire the superiority and epochal character of the literature of the sixteenth century.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience and fortitude conquer all things ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience and fortitude conquer all things]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although prepared for martyrdom, I prefer that it be postponed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although prepared for martyrdom, I prefer that it be postponed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's really courageous, really has a lot of heart to get out there and do what she did. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39615]]></link><description><![CDATA[She's really courageous, really has a lot of heart to get out there and do what she did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast done a deed whereat valour will weep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hast done a deed whereat valour will weep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom is the only law which genius knows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom is the only law which genius knows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can say nothing but what hath been said . . .

Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my own personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  November 13, 2001 Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   Repentance is in every view so desirable, so necessary, so suited to honor God, that I seek that above all. The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears. I long to be in my proper place, my hand on my mouth, and my mouth in the dust... I feel this to be safe ground. Here I cannot err... I am sure that whatever God may despise... He will not despise the broken and contrite heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure, and pleasure my business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46692]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure, and pleasure my business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So long as we judge ourselves by human comparisons, there is plenty of room for self-satisfaction, and self-satisfaction kills faith, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7499]]></link><description><![CDATA[So long as we judge ourselves by human comparisons, there is plenty of room for self-satisfaction, and self-satisfaction kills faith, for faith is born of the sense of need.

All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The NeXT Computer: The hardware makes it a PC, the software makes it a workstation, the unit sales makes it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9407]]></link><description><![CDATA[The NeXT Computer: The hardware makes it a PC, the software makes it a workstation, the unit sales makes it a mainframe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The living man who does not learn, is dark, dark, like one walking in the night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20420]]></link><description><![CDATA[The living man who does not learn, is dark, dark, like one walking in the night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tiger was cracking jokes and relating some locker room stories.
