It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18905]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quotation...

A writer expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read. Quotations due to the last motive are invariably ill-advised; the discerning reader detects it and is contemptuous; the undiscerning is perhaps impressed, but even then is at the same time repelled, pretentious quotations being the surest road to tedium.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ascension  A comprehended god is no god. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ascension  A comprehended god is no god.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A radical is one who speaks the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52928]]></link><description><![CDATA[A radical is one who speaks the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there had anywhere appeared in space   Another place of refuge where to flee,  Our hearts had ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7867]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there had anywhere appeared in space   Another place of refuge where to flee,  Our hearts had taken refuge from that place,   And not with Thee. For we against creation's bars had beat   Like prisoned eagles, through great worlds had sought Though but a foot of ground to plant our feet,   Where Thou wert not. And only when we found in earth and air,   In heaven or hell, that such might nowhere be That we could not flee from Thee anywhere,   We fled to Thee.  ... Richard Chevenix Trench  April 8, 2000 Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877  It is the recognition of this divine necessity -- not to forgive, but to forgive in a way which shows that God is irreconcilable to evil, and can never treat it as other or less than it is -- it is the recognition of this divine necessity, or the failure to recognise it, which ultimately divides interpreters of Christianity into evangelical and non-evangelical, those who are true to the New Testament and those who cannot digest it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678   One might think that, with the Bible as the center of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678   One might think that, with the Bible as the center of Christianity, the unity of Christians could be easily realized. But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess we took the illustrations to influential people so they could help.
