His Ascension means that He is perfectly united with God; we are with Him wherever we are present to God; and that is everywhere and always. Because He is "in Heaven" He is everywhere on earth: because He is ascended, He is here now. Our devotion is not to hold us by the empty tomb; it must lift up our hearts to heaven so that we too "in heart and mind thither ascend and with Him continually dwell": it must also send us forth into the world to do His will; and these are not two things, but one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/463]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54118]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presence may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For each mouth, a different soup. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58633]]></link><description><![CDATA[For each mouth, a different soup.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oftfalling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21964]]></link><description><![CDATA[The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oftfalling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My whole feeling in terms of racing is that you have to be very bold.

Again and again in the Pentateuch, the psalms, the prophets, and the subsequent writings which derive from them, the claim is made that the creator of the entire universe has chosen to live uniquely on a small ridge called Mount Zion, near the eastern edge of the Judean hill-country. The sheer absurdity of this claim, from the standpoint of any other worldview (not least that of Enlightenment philosophy), is staggering. The fact that Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Egypt again, Syria and now Rome had made explicit mockery of the idea did not shake this conviction, but only intensified it. This was what Jewish monotheism looked like on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Set a thief to catch a thief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10677]]></link><description><![CDATA[Set a thief to catch a thief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I paint things as they are.
