Paul, too, used this expression, but he placed alongside it a parallel form of words, "in Christ" or "in Christ Jesus". Where we find these words used we are being reminded of the intimate union with Christ which makes the Christian life an eternal life lived in the midst of time. The deeper shade of meaning would often be conveyed to our minds if we translated the phrase "in communion with Christ". But, Paul's Christ mysticism is saved from the introverted individualism of many forms of mysticism by his insistence that communion with Christ is also communion with all who are Christ's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is folly to put the plough in front of the oxen. [Fr., Folie est mettre la charrue devant les ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45267]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is folly to put the plough in front of the oxen. [Fr., Folie est mettre la charrue devant les boeufs.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as you can still be dissapointed, you are still young. -Sarah Churchill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5963]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as you can still be dissapointed, you are still young. -Sarah Churchill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus the fable tells us, that the wren mounted as high as the eagle, by getting upon his back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus the fable tells us, that the wren mounted as high as the eagle, by getting upon his back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Should banded unions persecute Opinions, and induce a time  When single thought is civil crime,   And individual ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Should banded unions persecute Opinions, and induce a time  When single thought is civil crime,   And individual freedom mute,    . . . .     Then waft me from the harbour's mouth,      Wild wind, I seek a warmer sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Could we but rightly comprehend the mind of man, nothingwould be impossible to us upon the earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Could we but rightly comprehend the mind of man, nothingwould be impossible to us upon the earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have peppered two of them: two I am sure I have paid, two rogues in buckram suits.

When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet thanks I must you con That you are thieves professed, that you work not  In holier shapes; for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet thanks I must you con That you are thieves professed, that you work not  In holier shapes; for there is boundless theft   In limited professions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61209]]></link><description><![CDATA[War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is true culture which helps us to work for the social betterment of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10833]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is true culture which helps us to work for the social betterment of all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love and life are for to-day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love and life are for to-day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people live and die with their music still unplayed.
