Secretly we are ourselves the masters in this relationship. We are not concerned with God, but with our own requirements, to which God must adjust Himself. Our arrogance demands that, in addition to everything else, some super-world should also be known and accessible to us. Our conduct calls for some deeper sanction, some approbation and remuneration from another world. Our well-regulated, pleasurable life longs for some hours of devotion, some prolongation into infinity. And so, when we set God upon the throne of the world, we mean by God ourselves. In "believing" on Him, we justify, enjoy, and adore ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At Rome I love Tibur; then, like a weathercock, at Tibur Rome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50190]]></link><description><![CDATA[At Rome I love Tibur; then, like a weathercock, at Tibur Rome.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[High expectations are the key to everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66427]]></link><description><![CDATA[High expectations are the key to everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every creative act involves...a new innocence of perception, liberatedfrom the cataract of accepted belief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every creative act involves...a new innocence of perception, liberatedfrom the cataract of accepted belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gravity is only the bark of wisdom; but it preserves it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gravity is only the bark of wisdom; but it preserves it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66588]]></link><description><![CDATA[God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team.

We have probably all done this as children. But the state of mind which desperate desire working on a strong imagination can manufacture is not faith in the Christian sense. It is a feat of psychological gymnastics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're just trying to find the right combination of what will ultimately be our best group. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36009]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're just trying to find the right combination of what will ultimately be our best group.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes you wonder how you got on this mountain.

The invisible church, composed of all Spirit-baptized persons, is indefectible, it cannot be ruined; against it "the gates of Hades shall not prevail." The local assembly may indeed by sadly ruined; but it can be restored, as, by the grace of God, has been seen times without number -- at Corinth, for example. The only other institution in question is that agglomeration of sects that is called "Christendom." But that is unrecognized by the New Testament -- it is not of God at all: and that it is "in ruins" is no matter for our regret.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20477]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100  One can believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and feel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100  One can believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and feel no personal loyalty to Him at all -- indeed, pay no attention whatever to His commandments and His will for one's life.
