To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christ came... in a purpose, ... to manifest himself in the Christian Religion, to all the nations of the world; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christ came... in a purpose, ... to manifest himself in the Christian Religion, to all the nations of the world; and therefore, says David, The Lord reigneth, let the Islands rejoice -- the Islands who by reason of their situation, provision, and trading have most means of conveying Christ Jesus over the world. He hath carried us up to heaven & set us at the right hand of God, & shall not we endeavour to carry him to those nations, who have not yet heard of his name? Shall we still brag that we have brought our clothes, and our hatchets, and our knives, and bread to this and this value and estimation amongst those poor ignorant Souls, and shall we never glory that we have brought the name, and Religion of Christ Jesus in estimation amongst them? Shall we stay till other nations have planted a false Christ among them? And then either continue in our sloth, or take more pains in rooting out a false Christ than would have planted the true?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that envy others are their inferiors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14049]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that envy others are their inferiors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25474]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul, and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In actual life every great enterprise begins with and takes its first forward step in faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15027]]></link><description><![CDATA[In actual life every great enterprise begins with and takes its first forward step in faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dog wags its tail with its heart ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2634]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dog wags its tail with its heart]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humble Hearts have humble desires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humble Hearts have humble desires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Citizen participation [is] a device whereby public officials induce nonpublic individuals to act in a way the officials desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Citizen participation [is] a device whereby public officials induce nonpublic individuals to act in a way the officials desire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13122]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality confronts man with a great many "musts," but all of them are conditional; the formula of realistic necessity is: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality confronts man with a great many "musts," but all of them are conditional; the formula of realistic necessity is: "You must, if " and the "if" stands for man's choice]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may be the part of a friend to rebuke a friend's folly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66916]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may be the part of a friend to rebuke a friend's folly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Utter originality is, of course, out of the question. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Utter originality is, of course, out of the question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curiosity is only vanity.

And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under spreading ensigns moving nigh, in slow But firm battalion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under spreading ensigns moving nigh, in slow But firm battalion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let them call it mischief; Then it is past and prosper'd, 'twill be virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let them call it mischief; Then it is past and prosper'd, 'twill be virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My father said: "You must never try to make all the money that's in a deal.

But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of "religion".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Central Catholic has earned the respect of all the other teams in this tournament.
