Its seers and prophets are not men of philosophic mind, who have risen from the seen to the unseen and, by dint of much reflection, have gradually attained to elevated conceptions of Him who is the Author of all that is. They are men of God whom God has chosen, that He might speak to them and, through them, to His people. Israel has not, in and by them, created for itself a God: God has, through them, created for Himself a people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16311]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth  It is the custom of unbelievers to speak as if the air of Palestine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth  It is the custom of unbelievers to speak as if the air of Palestine were then surcharged with belief in the supernatural, miracles were everywhere. Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Avoid delays: procrastination always does harm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Avoid delays: procrastination always does harm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's teaching them that they can save up their money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31152]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's teaching them that they can save up their money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3814]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The paths of glory at least lead to the grave, but the paths of duty may not get you any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65910]]></link><description><![CDATA[The paths of glory at least lead to the grave, but the paths of duty may not get you any where.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the first of all problems for a man to find out what kind of work he is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62082]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the first of all problems for a man to find out what kind of work he is to do in this universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One has no great hopes from Birmingham.

The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not like we're alone out there.
