For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After the conquest of Afric, Greece, the lesser Asia, and Syria were brought into Italy all the sorts of their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2951]]></link><description><![CDATA[After the conquest of Afric, Greece, the lesser Asia, and Syria were brought into Italy all the sorts of their Mala, which we interprete apples, and might signify no more at first; but were afterwards applied to many other foreign fruits.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We train our instructors how to set expectations for themselves and for their students so it doesn't lead to frustration ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32197]]></link><description><![CDATA[We train our instructors how to set expectations for themselves and for their students so it doesn't lead to frustration on either end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are too smart to pay the doctor, you had better be too smart to get ill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20460]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are too smart to pay the doctor, you had better be too smart to get ill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You look marvelous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5289]]></link><description><![CDATA[You look marvelous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I despise the pleasure of pleasing people that I despise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46716]]></link><description><![CDATA[I despise the pleasure of pleasing people that I despise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62834]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974   The reason that the Ten Commandments are short and clear is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974   The reason that the Ten Commandments are short and clear is that they were handed down direct, and not through several committees.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The country and the Congress were misled into war.
