The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first qualification for a historian is to have no ability to invent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19411]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first qualification for a historian is to have no ability to invent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole point of Christianity is that everyone in the world, from Charles Manson to Mother Teresa, deserves to go ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53529]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole point of Christianity is that everyone in the world, from Charles Manson to Mother Teresa, deserves to go to hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live in a disposable society, but here, you keep and reuse.

For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God. I had rather feel contrition than be skillful in the definition thereof. If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should this profit thee without the love and grace of God?  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ April 11, 1996 Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  When an unskillful servant gathers many herbs, flowers, and seeds in a garden, you gather them out that are useful, and cast the rest out of sight; so Christ deals with our performances. 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/7390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had just no power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36704]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had just no power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hit felt up high and that's why I lost my cool.
