For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, but for thee, O Lord, there is no difference in these things; everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift.   ... Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is great enough that is his own master. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53309]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is great enough that is his own master.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She (his wife) is the wind beneath my wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61888]]></link><description><![CDATA[She (his wife) is the wind beneath my wings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God has not cared that we should anywhere have assurance of His very words; and that not merely, perhaps, because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8210]]></link><description><![CDATA[God has not cared that we should anywhere have assurance of His very words; and that not merely, perhaps, because of the tendency in His children to word-worship, false logic, and corruption of the truth, but because He would not have them oppressed by words, seeing that words, being human, and therefore but partially capable, could not absolutely contain or express what the Lord meant, and that even He must depend for being understood upon the spirit of His disciple.

Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall never want rope enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51062]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall never want rope enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beside, he was a shrewd philosopher, And had read ev'ry text and gloss over  Whate'er the crabbed'st author hath, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beside, he was a shrewd philosopher, And had read ev'ry text and gloss over  Whate'er the crabbed'st author hath,   He understood b' implicit faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cruel persecutions and intolerance are not accidents, but grow out of the very essence of religion, namely, its absolute claims ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46146]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cruel persecutions and intolerance are not accidents, but grow out of the very essence of religion, namely, its absolute claims]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it is all a matter of love: the more you love a memory, the stronger and stranger it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52226]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it is all a matter of love: the more you love a memory, the stronger and stranger it is. - Strong Opinions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is first the literature of knowledge, and secondly, the literature of power.
