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[Hate is all a lie, there is no truth in hate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18830]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hate is all a lie, there is no truth in hate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is a cynic?

How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is costly wisdom that is bought by experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14670]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is costly wisdom that is bought by experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65967]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But that he wrought so high the specious tale, As manifested plainly 'twas a lie.  [Lat., Se non volea ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26108]]></link><description><![CDATA[But that he wrought so high the specious tale, As manifested plainly 'twas a lie.  [Lat., Se non volea pulir sua scusa tanto,   Che la facesse di menzogna rea.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rarer action is In virtue than in vengeance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60470]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rarer action is In virtue than in vengeance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A credulous thing is love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50702]]></link><description><![CDATA[A credulous thing is love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stock market might be a variable, but I think it's totally trumped by other factors right now, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40707]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stock market might be a variable, but I think it's totally trumped by other factors right now,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, 1253   Holy Orders is a vocation from God; it is not a profession which we enter expecting an advance, or some sort of recognition as a right after so many years of work. But it is rather the giving up of self into the hands of God, without stint and without reserve, and letting Him set the work. It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is in your hands, now use it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14592]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is in your hands, now use it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54238]]></link><description><![CDATA[My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coquetry whets the appetite; flirtation depraves it.
