Oh, Thou didst know that Thy deed would be recorded in books, would be handed down to remote times and the utmost ends of the earth, and Thou didst hope that man, following Thee, would cling to God and not ask for a miracle. But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I told the British newspaper is that during a questioning session, Tariq Aziz was asked about who in Iraq ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29823]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I told the British newspaper is that during a questioning session, Tariq Aziz was asked about who in Iraq took sovereign decisions like declaring war, suppressing a revolt or a civil mutiny,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our struggling offense finally caught up to us.

This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had to decide right now, it would be between Kansas, Indiana and Baylor.

Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't give someone all of your time if they're only gonna give you half of theirs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't give someone all of your time if they're only gonna give you half of theirs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you any relation to your brother Marv?(spoken to announcer Steve Albert) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are you any relation to your brother Marv?(spoken to announcer Steve Albert)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is a much-threatened VVIP.

Jesus is more than a religious genius, such as George Fox, and more than a holy man, such as the lovable Lana in Kipling's Kim. He himself knows that he is more. The Gospel story is a tree rooted in the familiar soil of time and sense; but its roots go down into the Abyss and its branches fill the Heavens; given to us in terms of a country in the Eastern Mediterranean no bigger than Wales, during the Roman Principate of Tiberius Caesar in the first century of our era, its range is universal; it is on the scale of eternity. God's presence and his very Self were made manifest in the words and works of this Man. In short, the Man Christ Jesus has the decisive place in man's ageless relationship with God. He is what God means by 'Man'. He is what man means by 'God'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have received no more than one or two letters in my life that were worth the postage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24648]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have received no more than one or two letters in my life that were worth the postage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5969]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5969</guid></item></channel></rss>
