St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sister is both your mirror - and your opposite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56480]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sister is both your mirror - and your opposite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science when well digested is nothing but good sense and reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science when well digested is nothing but good sense and reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65033]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The function of the imagination is not to make strange things settled, so much as to make settled things strange. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20534]]></link><description><![CDATA[The function of the imagination is not to make strange things settled, so much as to make settled things strange.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not try to dance better than anyone else.
