Of what I have learnt from these documents in the course of my long task, I will say nothing now. Only this, that they bear the seal of the Son of Man and God, they are the Magna Charta of the human spirit. Were we to devote to their comprehension a little of the selfless enthusiasm that is now expended on the riddle of our physical surroundings, we would cease to say that Christianity is coming to an end -- we might even feel that it had only just begun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974  Let us remember how very soon the missionary character of the Church ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974  Let us remember how very soon the missionary character of the Church was forgotten, and the Church, instead of obeying the commandment of Jesus to go and make disciples of all nations (in fact, that it was chiefly a missionary association), neglected this great and important calling... It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Corrupted freemen are the worst of slaves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Corrupted freemen are the worst of slaves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world has lost its quintessential romantic icon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33116]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world has lost its quintessential romantic icon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To make any gain some outlay is necessary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50895]]></link><description><![CDATA[To make any gain some outlay is necessary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  When we look at the history of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  When we look at the history of the Church, at the reckless fashion in which we have squandered our strength and time in fratricidal struggles between sect and sect, in embittered bickerings over matters often of secondary moment, while the world about us lies unwon, and the Church's great commission remains plainly unfulfilled, surely we can understand that outburst of Erasmus, when he cried that he wished that we would cease from our disputings altogether, and put all that energy and zeal that we are wasting upon them into the carrying of the Gospel to the heathen! Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Needy knife-grinder! whither are ye going? Rough is the road, your wheel is out of order;  Bleak blows the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47877]]></link><description><![CDATA[Needy knife-grinder! whither are ye going? Rough is the road, your wheel is out of order;  Bleak blows the blast--your hat has got a hole in it.   So have your breeches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They spell it Vinci and pronounce it Vinchy; foreigners always spell better than they pronounce. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57369]]></link><description><![CDATA[They spell it Vinci and pronounce it Vinchy; foreigners always spell better than they pronounce.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can never make up my mind if I'm happy being a flute player, or if I wish I were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36662]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can never make up my mind if I'm happy being a flute player, or if I wish I were Eric Clapton.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them.
