We can so easily have talks with people, and they can say we have helped, write us grateful letters, even stand steady for a time till the juice we have put into them runs out; but, we may have brought them no hunger for God -- because that hunger is no ache in our own heart -- nor brought them anywhere near to the end of self.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    September 13, 1999  Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. These are words by which the slanderers of the nature, of the body, the impeachers of our flesh, are completely overthrown... We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption: not the flesh, but death. The body is one thing, corruption another; the body is one thing, death another... What is foreign to us is not the body but corruptibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the world of human thought generally, and in physical science particularly, the most important and fruitful concepts are those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27663]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the world of human thought generally, and in physical science particularly, the most important and fruitful concepts are those to which it is impossible to attach a well-defined meaning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is robbed, not wanting what is stol'n, Let him not know't, and he's not robbed at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59140]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is robbed, not wanting what is stol'n, Let him not know't, and he's not robbed at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despite everybody who has been born and has died, the world has just gone on.

This introduces a third criterion of the Spirit, and on the wider stage of the moral life. It is loyalty to the moral ideal of Christ. "If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk" (Gal. 5:25). Where the Spirit dwells, it produces a new, a higher, a unique type of moral life. For Paul, the Christian life was not the normal and natural product of human activity, but a gracious divine gift, received by the descent of the Spirit into the human heart, for "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance" (Gal. 5:22-23). And there is yet one higher manifestation of the Spirit, the participation in the divine sonship of Jesus Christ. "And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father" (Gal. 4:6). Where sonship is, there the Spirit is. On the other hand, "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:l4). Where the Spirit leads, there sonship is... The possession of the Spirit and participation in Christ's sonship are but two aspects of the same experience. Here, the phenomenon, if it may be so called, bears its own credentials. Sonship is a self-evident work of the Spirit. But the evidence is available only for its owners in order that the Spirit of adoption may attest itself to others, it must issue in the life according to the Spirit, by walking in the spirit and bearing the fruit of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the heavens, he shows me where the bachelors sit, and there live we as merry as the day is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27423]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the heavens, he shows me where the bachelors sit, and there live we as merry as the day is long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it's simply an educational site, then I don't see it as a huge threat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31339]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it's simply an educational site, then I don't see it as a huge threat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honest men esteem and value nothing so much in this world as a real friend.
