And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge is sweeter than life itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge is sweeter than life itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Old Man and DeathAn old man was employed in cutting wood in the forest, and, in carrying the faggots ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1589]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Old Man and DeathAn old man was employed in cutting wood in the forest, and, in carrying the faggots to the city for sale one day, became very wearied with his long journey.

Standing on a projecting rock, he played several tunes in the hope that the fish, attracted by his melody, would of their own accord dance into his net, which he had placed below. At last, having long waited in vain, he laid aside his flute, and casting his net into the sea, made an excellent haul of fish. When he saw them leaping about in the net upon the rock he said: O you most perverse creatures, when I piped you would not dance, but now that I have ceased you do so merrily.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14167]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our days and nights Have sorrows woven with delights. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our days and nights Have sorrows woven with delights.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith makes the discords of the present the harmonies of the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith makes the discords of the present the harmonies of the future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return.

As he was wandering about there he came upon aLion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee,but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back andwent up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, whichwas all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a hugethorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulledout the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon ableto rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Liontook Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meatfrom which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and theLion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown tothe Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for severaldays. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle,and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon theLion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaringtowards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles herecognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his handslike a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summonedAndrocles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon theslave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his nativeforest.Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thou couldst, doctor, cast The water of my land, find her disease,  And purge it to a sound ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2926]]></link><description><![CDATA[If thou couldst, doctor, cast The water of my land, find her disease,  And purge it to a sound and pristine health,   I would applaud thee to the very echo,    That should applaud you again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't explain it, ...
