What can and must be said and resaid, with all gratitude for what in many places is already happening, is that a fearless scrutiny and revision of structure is one of the most urgent aspects of a renewal of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What this power is, I cannot say.

We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The boss must first distinguish between action information and status information.

"Ye worship ye know not what, but we know what we worship," "that which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled" -- "He suffered under Pontius Pilate." God died -- not in a legend, not in a symbol, not in a distant past nor in a realm unknown, but here, [in the crucifiction of Christ]; the whole great cloudy castle of natural religion and poetic prophecy is brought down to earth and firmly cemented upon that angular and solid cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61776]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None can love freedom but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license, which never hath more scope than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47554]]></link><description><![CDATA[None can love freedom but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license, which never hath more scope than under tyrants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For every talent that poverty has stimulated it has blighted a hundred. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47055]]></link><description><![CDATA[For every talent that poverty has stimulated it has blighted a hundred.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and row brave by reflection. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10331]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and row brave by reflection.
