Who among his disciples or among their proselytes was capable of inventing the sayings of Jesus or of imagining the life and character revealed in the Gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly not St. Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally different sort; still less the early Christian writers, in whom nothing is more evident than that the good which was in them was all derived, as they always professed that it was derived, from the higher source.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without businesse debauchery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without businesse debauchery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up with himself. - The Art of Worldy Wisdom, 1647.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweeping UA was when it all clicked.

As the New Testament uses the word, faith is trust, acceptance, commitment, vision. It is not a belief in this or that creed, it is a quality which lies rather in the realm of intuition than the intellect. Faith has indeed an element of true simplicity; it is one of the qualities -- perhaps the fundamental quality -- of the child-like spirit without which no man can enter the Kingdom of God.  ... Anonymous December 16, 1996  But lo' the snare is broke, the captive's freed,  By faith on all the hostile powers we tread, And crush through Jesus' strength the Serpent's head.  Jesus hath cast the cursed Accuser down,  Hath rooted up the tares by Satan sown:  All nature bows to His benign command, And two are one in His almighty hand. One in His hand, O may we still remain,  Fast bound with love's indissoluble chain;  (That adamant which time and death defies, That golden chain which draws us to the skies!)  His love the tie that binds us to His throne,  His love the bond that perfects us in one,  His only love constrains our hearts t' agree,  And gives the rivet of Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A long and wicked life followed by five minutes of perfect grace gets you into Heaven.

What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64188]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best economic development strategy for the next few years lies in fostering entrepreneurs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29365]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best economic development strategy for the next few years lies in fostering entrepreneurs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet we can maintain a free society only if we recognize that in a free society no one can win ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet we can maintain a free society only if we recognize that in a free society no one can win all the time.

In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The major difference is that in the fall we had 22 percent of college students saying we should withdraw all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40254]]></link><description><![CDATA[The major difference is that in the fall we had 22 percent of college students saying we should withdraw all troops and now we only have 11 percent who say that.
