St. Basil the Great  January 3, 1998  Commemoration of Gladys Aylward, Missionary in China, 1970  For us in the Pacific, in Asia, in India, and in Africa, Christian unity is not an optional extra. It is an urgent necessity, for our divisions are a real stumbling-block to the proclamation of the Gospel... Mission is at the heart of the divine reality. It is the will of God and the Kingdom of God which are to be made known. Wherever we are, our purpose is not to propagate the Church as an end in itself, but to proclaim Christ as Lord of all life and as Saviour of all men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2476]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lame goes as farre as your staggerer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49882]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Lame goes as farre as your staggerer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a terrible lot of lies going round the world, and the worst of it is that they're true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26151]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a terrible lot of lies going round the world, and the worst of it is that they're true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48573]]></link><description><![CDATA[But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57335]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetitionand emotion will one day become a reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetitionand emotion will one day become a reality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity is the plea of every infringement of human freedom.

Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge. He did so, not by handing down a new tradition about God, but by making others sharers in His own attitude to God. This is what Paul means by "having the mind of Christ." It was this clear, unquestioning conviction that gave Paul his power as a missionary: but he expected it also in his converts. To them too "the world of knowledge" came "by the same Spirit". He prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Such knowledge is, as Paul freely grants, only partial, but, so far as it goes, it is real, personal knowledge. In friendship between men there is a mutual knowledge which is never complete or free from mystery: yet you can know with a certainty nothing could shake, that your friend is "not the man to do such a thing", or that such-and-such a thing that you have heard is "just like him." You have a real knowledge which gives you a criterion. Such is the knowledge the Christian has of his Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I refuse to enter a wet T-Shirt Contest until my breasts look more like breasts, and less like something I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54690]]></link><description><![CDATA[I refuse to enter a wet T-Shirt Contest until my breasts look more like breasts, and less like something I should tuck into my pants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the reward of my folly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51749]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the reward of my folly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was great for our guys.
