And that context, astounding even to bodily eyes is the heaven of stars and the incredible procession of the great galaxies. Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From Chaos to Coherence Science's view of intelligence itself has begun to change. Historically, "intelligence" has been defined simply as mental capacity. Some have even proposed that it is, therefore, fixed, finite, and genetically predetermined. Now it appears intelligence has other dimensions as well, physiologically and emotionally. We all have considerably more intelligence than we thought; we just have not learned to bring our capacity for intelligence into coherence. Martin Luther King, Jr. -W. MacNeile Dixon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fragrant o'er all the western groves The tall magnolia towers unshaded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fragrant o'er all the western groves The tall magnolia towers unshaded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though God's attributes are equal, yet his mercy is more attractive and pleasing in our eyes than his justice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53744]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though God's attributes are equal, yet his mercy is more attractive and pleasing in our eyes than his justice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . and now expecting Each hour their great adventurer, from the search  Of foreign words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/668]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . and now expecting Each hour their great adventurer, from the search  Of foreign words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two modes of acquiring knowledge, namely by reasoning and experience.

Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is when the desire to be desired takes you so badly that you feel you could die of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is when the desire to be desired takes you so badly that you feel you could die of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assassination is the extreme form of censorship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Assassination is the extreme form of censorship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humor brings insight and tolerance.

The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678   One might think that, with the Bible as the center of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678   One might think that, with the Bible as the center of Christianity, the unity of Christians could be easily realized. But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most men had rather say a smart thing than do a good one.
