And man would praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures; yea, man, though he bears about with him his mortality, the proof of his sin, the proof that Thou, O God, dost resist the proud, yet would man praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures. Thou dost prompt us thereto, making it a joy to praise Thee; for Thou hast created us unto Thyself, and our heart finds no rest until it rests in Thee. Grant me, O Lord, to know and understand which comes first, to call upon Thee, or to praise Thee, and which comes first, to know Thee or to call upon Thee.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    August 29, 1998  Instead of pursuing her appointed path of separation, persecution, world-hatred, poverty, and non-resistance, [the Church] has used... Scripture to justify her in lowering her purpose to the civilization of the world, the acquisition of wealth, the use of an imposing ritual, the erection of magnificent churches, the invocation of God's blessing upon the conflicts of armies, and the division of an equal brotherhood into "clergy" and "laity".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["When a man says he's willin'," said Mr. Barkis, "it's as much as to say, that man's a-waitin' for a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61591]]></link><description><![CDATA["When a man says he's willin'," said Mr. Barkis, "it's as much as to say, that man's a-waitin' for a answer."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judge a tree from its fruit, not from its leaves ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judge a tree from its fruit, not from its leaves]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The next time you go out to a smoking party, young feller, fill your pipe with that 'ere reflection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53189]]></link><description><![CDATA[The next time you go out to a smoking party, young feller, fill your pipe with that 'ere reflection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The melancholy ghosts of dead renown, Whispering faint echoes of the world's applause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13309]]></link><description><![CDATA[The melancholy ghosts of dead renown, Whispering faint echoes of the world's applause.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know I have the ability to do so much more than just stand in front of the camera the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/860]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know I have the ability to do so much more than just stand in front of the camera the rest of my life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This victory will be your I ruin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50788]]></link><description><![CDATA[This victory will be your I ruin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the freedom of religion, guaranteed to us by law in theory, can ever rise in practice under the overbearing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15253]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the freedom of religion, guaranteed to us by law in theory, can ever rise in practice under the overbearing inquisition of public opinion, then and only then will truth, prevail over fanaticism]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one begins to live by habit and by quotation, one has begun to stop living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18552]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one begins to live by habit and by quotation, one has begun to stop living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I really have a secret satisfaction in being considered rather mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27325]]></link><description><![CDATA[I really have a secret satisfaction in being considered rather mad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's the business, That such a hideous trumpet calls to parley  The sleepers of the house?

Abraham and Moses not only lived in two uniquely different worlds, but no Old Testament editor tried in any way to soften the glaring contrasts between the two spiritual giants. Abraham had no Tabernacle, with its minute ritual and special clergy. Abraham was given nothing like the detailed code of life demanded by the Sinai Covenant. Abraham was not even furnished with the basic Ten Commandments. And yet, when we turn to the New Testament, it is Abraham who holds the place of honor, and not Moses! Abraham is mentioned over seventy times in the New Testament, and half of these are in the Gospels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do honour the very flea of his dog. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16212]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do honour the very flea of his dog.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cultures contain many cues and inducements to dissuade the individual from approaching ultimate limits, in much the same way that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cultures contain many cues and inducements to dissuade the individual from approaching ultimate limits, in much the same way that a special warning strip of land around the edge of a baseball field lets a player know that he is about to run into a concrete wall when he is preoccupied with catching the ball. The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits. Decrying various forms of social disapproval is in effect narrowing the warning strip.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56821</guid></item></channel></rss>
