His preaching is essentially private conversation, and has at the back of it facts, facts of a life which explain and illustrate and enforce his words... It is such missionary work, done consciously and deliberately as missionary, that the world needs today. Everybody, Christian and pagan alike, respects such work; and, when it is so done, men wonder, and inquire into the secret of a life which they instinctively admire and covet for themselves... The spirit which inspires love of others and efforts after their well-being, both in body and soul, they cannot but admire and covet -- unless, indeed, seeing that it would reform their own lives, they dread and hate it, because they do not desire to be reformed. In either case, it works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25926]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In July 2004 we made two undercover purchases of crack cocaine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29251]]></link><description><![CDATA[In July 2004 we made two undercover purchases of crack cocaine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even bear-baiting was esteemed heathenish and unchristian: the sport of it, not the inhumanity, gave offence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10788]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even bear-baiting was esteemed heathenish and unchristian: the sport of it, not the inhumanity, gave offence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is week.

But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of "religion".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are here on earth to do good to others.

"We were buried with Christ through our baptism (and so entered) into a state of death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the splendor of the Father, we too might walk in the newness which belongs to (real) life." To the rite as such Paul did not attach overwhelming importance. "Christ", he says, "did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel."  Paul recognized in the idea a most suggestive figure for the change wrought by faith in Christ. He found it necessary to guard against the crude sacramentalism which found in the mere physical process, as such, the actual impartation of new life, quite apart from anything taking place in the realm of inward experience. The Israelites in the wilderness ... received baptism in the Red Sea and in the cloud which overshadowed them; and yet they were disobedient, "the majority of them God did not choose," and they perished miserably. The inference is plain. No sacramental act achieves anything unless it is an outward symbol of what really happens inwardly in experience. The test of that is the reality of the new life as exhibited in its ethical consequences. "How can we who are dead to sin live any longer in sin?" If baptism is a real dying and rising again, then it is indeed a profound revolution in the personal life, a revolution which is simply bound to show itself in a new moral character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19373]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[American Idol Rewind combines all of the characteristics of elite off-network weekend successes, including being a smash hit in primetime, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33673]]></link><description><![CDATA[American Idol Rewind combines all of the characteristics of elite off-network weekend successes, including being a smash hit in primetime, having dual male and female appeal, and enjoying substantial momentum going into syndication.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My family comes first.

"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is going to be most expensive ballot in California history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40076]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is going to be most expensive ballot in California history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meditation is the tongue of the soul and the language of our spirit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Meditation is the tongue of the soul and the language of our spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guilt is a sure sign your thinking is unnatural.*HS was the amanuensis for the Course In Miracles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guilt is a sure sign your thinking is unnatural.*HS was the amanuensis for the Course In Miracles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tom Delay did bugs exterminatebefore he did kid soldiers terminate.Kissinger's Bremer has not been forthrightabout how many died in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tom Delay did bugs exterminatebefore he did kid soldiers terminate.Kissinger's Bremer has not been forthrightabout how many died in the last fortnight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People begin to gain weight as they become older.
