All the brethren and sisters of Christ must be conformed to his image in suffering, Rom. viii.17, and some do more fully resemble the copy than others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They mostly recruit distance runners.

When this position is expressed, it must be attacked directly and unapologetically, because it represents a genuine evil, ... the idolatry of bricks and mortar, a heresy specifically undermined by the Apostle Paul in Athens when he said, "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man" (Acts 17:24). The notion that it is perfectly all right to sell a New Testament in the department store on Monday, but that it is wrong to sell it in the meetinghouse on Sunday, represents a confusion so great that it is truly appalling. As Christians, we believe in the Real Presence, but it is a severe denial of the divine power to claim that this Presence is limited geographically. If, in a building dedicated to worship, a seeker buys a book on Sunday morning and his life is deepened in consequence, the only important thing to say is that the Gospel has thereby been preached, and this is one of the major tasks of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58888]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I am able to resist the temptation to judge others, I can see them as teachers of forgiveness in my life, reminding me that I can only have peace of mind when I forgive rather than judge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12117]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fraud is the homage that force pays to reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fraud is the homage that force pays to reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All maxims have their antagonist maxims; proverbs should be sold in pairs, a single one being but a half truth ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26598]]></link><description><![CDATA[All maxims have their antagonist maxims; proverbs should be sold in pairs, a single one being but a half truth]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beggars must be no choosers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3920]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beggars must be no choosers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before and after practicing Judo or engaging in a match, opponents bow to each other.

This supposition rests upon a misunderstanding of what is meant by "the Kingdom of God"... The Kingdom itself is not something to be "furthered" or "built" by men's efforts. It is something which we are invited to recognize as already present, after a manner, in the life and work of Jesus. It is something to be inherited or entered into by those who believe. The task of the Church, in other words, is not to set the stage for a better world than this one but to draw the curtain from it, to reveal something that is already there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In vain we call old notions fudge And bend our conscience to our dealing.  The Ten Commandments will not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59131]]></link><description><![CDATA[In vain we call old notions fudge And bend our conscience to our dealing.  The Ten Commandments will not budge   And stealing will continue stealing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can look into the seeds of time And say which grain will grow and which will not,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20732]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can look into the seeds of time And say which grain will grow and which will not,  Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear   Your favors nor your hate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And none speaks false, when there in none to hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26109]]></link><description><![CDATA[And none speaks false, when there in none to hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am ashamed of my master and not of my servitude. [Lat., Domini pudet non servitutis.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55221]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am ashamed of my master and not of my servitude. [Lat., Domini pudet non servitutis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And after the earthquake was a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60908]]></link><description><![CDATA[And after the earthquake was a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was with a famous comedian when a young fan walked up and asked for an autograph.

They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We really get two weeks instead of three (after the dead period).
