"Follow me," "come unto me," and "ye will not come unto me," indicate sufficiently that what he offered to men was himself. He seeks to win men's acceptance of the truth that had come in him. His words and deeds served to indicate what manner of man he was and what kind of work he had come to do; and all the time it is a person addressing persons, seeking to gain their recognition of and their self-commitment to himself. He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death your right to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11445]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55028]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[You should know that Weisz, who's a darker and more enigmatic version of Kate Winslet , is taken.

Life becomes sterile and futile without the depth and power which come from participation in eternal realities. But this new age cannot any more successfully live on religious faiths that are out of harmony with known truth, or that hang loose in the air, cut apart from the fundamental intellectual culture of the age. The hour has struck for the serious business of rediscovering the foundations, and of interpenetrating all life and thought with the truths and realities of a victorious religious faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soul meets soul on lovers lips. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soul meets soul on lovers lips.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A righteous man regardeth the life of this beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48639]]></link><description><![CDATA[A righteous man regardeth the life of this beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Against stupidity the very gods fight in vain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Against stupidity the very gods fight in vain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never go backward.

The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They hear a voice in every wind, And snatch a fearful joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23427]]></link><description><![CDATA[They hear a voice in every wind, And snatch a fearful joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52664]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of decision is like the well-timed swoop of a falcon which enables it to strike and destroy its victim.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe we can and should have it all.
