Not by making vast claims for himself, though such claims were implicit. His authority seemed to reside in what he was and what he did rather than in what he specifically claimed to be. Especially in Mark's Gospel there is an elusive quality about his authority, the mystery of the hidden Messiah. His authority was at the same time most deeply hidden and most clearly expressed by his servanthood... The more the Church in its life shows forth the character of the Servant, the more will its teaching bear the marks of the authority of the Servant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last ten years we have come to realize humans are more like worms than we ever imagined. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30741]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last ten years we have come to realize humans are more like worms than we ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3987]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has three characters -- that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has three characters -- that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've got everything I need except a man.

What ought to result from it? What is the point and peak and heart and centre of it? Is it the offering we bring to God of praise and adoration, of thanksgiving and sacrifice, our praise, our sacrifice to Him? That has its place, not legitimate only, but imperative. And yet to put that in the foreground is to make the service fundamentally man-centered and subjective, which, face to face with God, is surely almost unthinkably unseemly. Or is the ideal we should hold before us that other extreme, so ardently pressed on us these days, that, face to face with the Lord God Almighty, High and Holy, it is for us to forget ourselves and -- leaving behind our petty little human joys and needs and sins and risings above thanksgiving and petition and confession -- to lose ourselves in an awed adoration of God's naked and essential being, blessing and praising Him, not even for what he has done for us, and been for us, but for what, in Himself, He is. To me, that seems not an advance, but a pathetic throw-back to the primitive of Brahmanism. We shall not learn to know God better, nor how to worship Him more worthily, by careful rubbing out from memory every wonder of Christ's revelation of Him.

We don't despise God's name; in fact, we call upon it constantly to justify ourselves... If we object to meat-eating, we declare that God is vegetarian; if we abhor war, we proclaim a pacifist Deity. He who turned water into wine to gladden a wedding it now accused by many of favouring that abominable fluid grape juice. There can hardly be a more evil way of taking God's name in vain than this way of presuming to speak in it. For here is spiritual pride, the ultimate sin, in action -- the sin of believing in one's own righteousness. The true prophet says humbly, "To me, a sinful man, God spoke." But the scribes and Pharisees declare, "When we speak, God agrees." They feel no need of a special revelation, for they are always, in their own view, infallible. It is this self-righteousness of the pious that most breeds atheism, by inspiring all decent, ordinary men with loathing of the enormous lie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had scarcely gone a short league, when Fortune, that was conducting his affairs from good to better, discovered to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20987]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had scarcely gone a short league, when Fortune, that was conducting his affairs from good to better, discovered to him the road, where he also espied an Inn.

It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43722]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16279]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The U.S. case is more important because of the economic implications, ...
