It has been said... truly that the Church exists for those outside of itself. The Church must never be in any sense a little huddle of pious people, shutting their doors against the world, lost in prayer and praise, connoisseurs of preaching and liturgy, busy mutually congratulating themselves on the excellence of their Christian experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In most parts of the Bible, everything is implicitly or explicitly introduced with "Thus saith the Lord".

It is... not merely a sacred book but a book so remorselessly and continuously sacred that it does not invite -- it excludes or repels -- the merely aesthetic approach. You can read it as literature only by a tour de force...

I predict that it will in the future be read, as it always has been read, almost exclusively by Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60197]]></link><description><![CDATA[A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few personsnearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Losse embraceth shame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Losse embraceth shame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  The Gospels do not explain the Resurrection -- the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945  The Gospels do not explain the Resurrection -- the Resurrection explains the Gospels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures. [Lat., Omnibus in rebus voluptatibus maximis fastidium finitimum est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46696]]></link><description><![CDATA[In everything satiety closely follows the greatest pleasures. [Lat., Omnibus in rebus voluptatibus maximis fastidium finitimum est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is like a dogsled team.
