Rather does he create Him in the image of his cravings and dreams- in the image of what man wants to be. God making could be part of the process by which a society realizes its aspirations: it first embodies them in the conception of a particular God, and then proceeds to imitate that God. The confidence requisite for attempting the unprecedented is most effectively generated by the fiction that in realizing the new we are imitating rather than originating. Our preoccupation with heaven can be part of an effort to find precedents for the unprecedented.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ultimately property rights and personal rights are the same thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ultimately property rights and personal rights are the same thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At age nine I began serving long stints in juvenile detention quarters.

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[Society is like a lawn where every roughness is smoothed, every bramble eradicated, and where the eye is delighted by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57002]]></link><description><![CDATA[Society is like a lawn where every roughness is smoothed, every bramble eradicated, and where the eye is delighted by the smiling verdure of a velvet surface.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here comes the lady.
