Yet with his best thought, and largest opportunity, and the application of his highest ability, he cannot penetrate far. But the Christ of God unfolds both its meaning, and its order. He shows that the goal is freedom, and the guidance love. In this way Christ appears direct to the spirit of man, not by its special acquirements, or special ability, but through its common needs and common tasks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mother of light! how fairly dost thou go Over those hoary crests, divinely led!  Art thou that huntress of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mother of light! how fairly dost thou go Over those hoary crests, divinely led!  Art thou that huntress of the silver bow   Fabled of old?

It blends into the scenery. Many people assume that we live in a "Christian society". Obviously, the Christian church has no strong witness against society. In [a communist country], the situation is exactly the opposite. Christians there live under a political regime which makes a point of distinguishing itself from all religion, and which is grounded philosophically on atheism and materialism. The Church lives in a hostile social order. The result is that the weak Christians are weeded out, and the strong Christians are tremendously strengthened by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To seek these things is lost labour; Geese in an oyle pot, fat Hogs among Jews, and Wine in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50013]]></link><description><![CDATA[To seek these things is lost labour; Geese in an oyle pot, fat Hogs among Jews, and Wine in a fishing net.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[We believe] that today's weakness related to the news that Russia is pulling poultry import licenses is a buying opportunity. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34812]]></link><description><![CDATA[[We believe] that today's weakness related to the news that Russia is pulling poultry import licenses is a buying opportunity.
