For one thing, it implies that we have no spiritual ambition, else we should not be satisfied with such poor lives; that we cannot have thought out the fact of Jesus Christ, and how immeasurably He has raised the standard. Will you hang your wretched daubs beside the works of Titian and Michelangelo and not be shamed by the enormous contrast -- stand back and say, with a satisfied smirk, "That is pretty good, you know!"? And can you live face to face with Jesus Christ, and be content with what you are?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ethics must begin at the top of an organization.

The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a symbol unmoors itself from what it symbolizes, it loses meaning.

Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men show their character in nothing more clearly than by what theythink laughable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men show their character in nothing more clearly than by what theythink laughable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can you picture my prophecy? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can you picture my prophecy?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it falls right on the weekend, when St. Patrick's Day comes on Friday or Saturday it's perfect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30206]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it falls right on the weekend, when St. Patrick's Day comes on Friday or Saturday it's perfect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't attach yourself too much to anything that needs to go.Everything in this world is not permanent..You just have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't attach yourself too much to anything that needs to go.Everything in this world is not permanent..You just have to love it while you have it...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66163]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iran is ready to provide any guarantees that our nuclear activities are not geared toward nuclear weapon production. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Iran is ready to provide any guarantees that our nuclear activities are not geared toward nuclear weapon production.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet still a sad, good Christian at the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet still a sad, good Christian at the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6167</guid></item></channel></rss>
