I see that morning in Thy convert's tears,  Fresh as the dew, which but this downing wears.  I smell her spices; and her ointment yields  As rich a scent as the now primrosed fields:  The Day-star smiles, and light, with Thee deceased,  Now shines in all the chambers of the East.  ... Henry Vaughan April 24, 2000 Commemoration of Mellitus, First Bishop of London, 624  The [Christian] "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[already seething with social injustice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31999]]></link><description><![CDATA[already seething with social injustice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truest wisdom is a resolute determination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64967]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truest wisdom is a resolute determination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O happy earth, Whereon thy innocent feet doe ever tread! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15567]]></link><description><![CDATA[O happy earth, Whereon thy innocent feet doe ever tread!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155  He who was raised from the dead will raise us also, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155  He who was raised from the dead will raise us also, if we do His will and live by His commands and love what He loved, refraining from all injustice, covetousness, love of money, evil-speaking, false witness, not returning evil for evil or abuse for abuse, or blow for blow, or curse for curse, but remembering what the Lord said when He taught: Do not judge, so that you may not be judged; forgive and you will be forgiven; have mercy so that you may be shown mercy; with the measure you use men will measure back to you; and blessed are the poor and those who are persecuted for their uprightness, for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to them.  ... St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little bit of vegetation is good but too much is not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33556]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little bit of vegetation is good but too much is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cordial agreement which exists between the governments of France and Great Britain. [Fr., La cordiale entente qui existe entre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57835]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cordial agreement which exists between the governments of France and Great Britain. [Fr., La cordiale entente qui existe entre le gouvernement francais et celui de la Grande-Bretagne.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The drunkard is convicted by his praises of wine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50338]]></link><description><![CDATA[The drunkard is convicted by his praises of wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now he [Nebridius] lives in Abraham's bosom. [Lat., Nunc ille vivit in sinu Abraham.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now he [Nebridius] lives in Abraham's bosom. [Lat., Nunc ille vivit in sinu Abraham.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not because things are difficult that we dare not venture.
