It has been said... truly that the Church exists for those outside of itself. The Church must never be in any sense a little huddle of pious people, shutting their doors against the world, lost in prayer and praise, connoisseurs of preaching and liturgy, busy mutually congratulating themselves on the excellence of their Christian experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds.

Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Infinite riches in a little room. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Infinite riches in a little room.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19441]]></link><description><![CDATA[People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your own property is concerned when your neighbor's house is on fire. [Lat., Tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your own property is concerned when your neighbor's house is on fire. [Lat., Tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Occasionally, the chef gets creative and comes up with a new one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Occasionally, the chef gets creative and comes up with a new one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66203]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hardest people to reach with the love of God are not the bad people.

The time came when the Church had ceased to grow, except externally in wealth, power, and prestige; and these are mere outward adornments, or hampering burdens, very likely. They do not imply growth or creativeness. The time came when dogmatism, tyranny, and ignorance strangled the free intellectual activity of the Church, and worldliness destroyed its moral fruitfulness. Then joy spread her wings and flew away. The Christian graces care nothing for names and labels; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there they abide, but not in great Churches that have forgotten Him. How little of joy there is in the character of the religious bigot or fanatic, or in the prudent ecclesiastical statesman! A show of cheerfulness they may cultivate, as they often do; but it is like the crackling of thorns under a pot: we cannot mistake it for the joy of the Lord which is the strength of the true Christian.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always want more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29020]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always want more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.

You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are three all-powerful evils: lust, anger and greed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26064]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are three all-powerful evils: lust, anger and greed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know that the amount of criticism you receive may correlate somewhat to the amount of publicity you receive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52517</guid></item></channel></rss>
