As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[President Bush is as interested as I am in having the greatest possible number of countries contributing valuably to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39088]]></link><description><![CDATA[President Bush is as interested as I am in having the greatest possible number of countries contributing valuably to the reconstruction of the area, each of us with our own responsibilities. ...

Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, thecontinents, and the oceans was not ignorance, but rather the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22325]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, thecontinents, and the oceans was not ignorance, but rather the illusion ofknowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the new arms race.

It may be that today the philosopher is honouring the Name af God when he insists that we should know what we mean when we utter our religious language and that we should be ready to have that meaning tested. It may be that other philosophers hallow the Name when they refuse to allow us to withdraw it to some supernatural realm, but insist on wrestling with the unknown God in the agony and joy of existence, crying with Jacob, "Tell me, I pray thee, thy Name." And is not the scientist honouring the Name when he patiently and obediently follows where the evidence leads? Or the social scientist when he asks us to understand what is before we begin pronouncing what ought to be? God does not spend all His time in Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once more upon the waters! yet once more! And the waves bound beneath me as a steed  That knows ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once more upon the waters! yet once more! And the waves bound beneath me as a steed  That knows his rider.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3587]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no points of the compass on the chart of true patriotism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45829]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no points of the compass on the chart of true patriotism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists!
