Its seers and prophets are not men of philosophic mind, who have risen from the seen to the unseen and, by dint of much reflection, have gradually attained to elevated conceptions of Him who is the Author of all that is. They are men of God whom God has chosen, that He might speak to them and, through them, to His people. Israel has not, in and by them, created for itself a God: God has, through them, created for Himself a people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9097]]></link><description><![CDATA[The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The theme of satsangh: that there is Salvation in numbers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The theme of satsangh: that there is Salvation in numbers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's pretty much a little village down there where everyone knows everyone, so if they can walk into a loo ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40006]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's pretty much a little village down there where everyone knows everyone, so if they can walk into a loo and buy a condom, it's a lot easier than going to the local shop and buying them, when everyone knows what's going on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A prudent man does not make the goat his gardener. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17189]]></link><description><![CDATA[A prudent man does not make the goat his gardener.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ten thousand casks, Forever dribbling out their base contents,  Touch'd by the Midas finger of the state,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61678]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ten thousand casks, Forever dribbling out their base contents,  Touch'd by the Midas finger of the state,   Bleed gold for ministers to sport away.    Drink, and be mad then; 'tis your country bids!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heresy is a cradle; orthodoxy a coffin ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heresy is a cradle; orthodoxy a coffin]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Families of the 'disappeared' deserve answers immediately to their repeated demands for information about the fate of their loved ones. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39544]]></link><description><![CDATA[Families of the 'disappeared' deserve answers immediately to their repeated demands for information about the fate of their loved ones.

We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The freedom now desired by many is not freedom to do and dare but freedom from care and worry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62298]]></link><description><![CDATA[The freedom now desired by many is not freedom to do and dare but freedom from care and worry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not a niche product.

And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every disasters screams for humor ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every disasters screams for humor]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Congress is so strange.
