And if the New Testament were a collection of secular writings, their authenticity would generally be regarded as beyond all doubt. It is a curious fact that historians have often been much readier to trust the New Testament than have many theologians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd do anything to go back to those days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29330]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd do anything to go back to those days.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not have unlimited capital.

Those who are fascinated by the supposed superiority of the mystic soul might profitably compile a list of its characteristics and place them side by side with those of Christ. The results would probably expose a surprising conclusion. There is, in fact, no provision for a "privileged class" in genuine Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You walk over red-hot lava hidden beneath treacherous ashes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50402]]></link><description><![CDATA[You walk over red-hot lava hidden beneath treacherous ashes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All loose things seem to drift down to the sea, and so did I. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63939]]></link><description><![CDATA[All loose things seem to drift down to the sea, and so did I.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good, honest, wholesome, hungry breakfast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16352]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good, honest, wholesome, hungry breakfast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See and to be seen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56254]]></link><description><![CDATA[See and to be seen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreading that climax of all earthly ills, The inflammation of his weekly bills. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreading that climax of all earthly ills, The inflammation of his weekly bills.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to be (an) optimist to be a Democrat, and you've got to be a humorist to stay one ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46925]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to be (an) optimist to be a Democrat, and you've got to be a humorist to stay one]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She that fails to command her thoughts will soon lose command of her actions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59151]]></link><description><![CDATA[She that fails to command her thoughts will soon lose command of her actions]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Satire must not be a kind of superfluous ill will, but ill will from a higher point of view.

If war exhausts our treasury, future industry will replenish it. If war desiccate and lay waste our fields, under new cultivation they will grow green again and ripen to future harvest. If the walls of yonder Capitol should fall and its decorations be covered by the dust of battle, all these can be rebuilt. But who shall reconstruct the fabric of a demolished government; who shall dwell in the well-proportioned columns of constitutional liberty; who shall frame together the skillful architecture which unites sovereignty with state's rights, individual security with prosperity?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting 'Twas only that when he was off, he was acting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/423]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting 'Twas only that when he was off, he was acting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Scholastica, Abbess of Plombariola, c.543 Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 5. the ministry of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Scholastica, Abbess of Plombariola, c.543 Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 5. the ministry of bearing   "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ" (Gal. 6:2). Thus the law of Christ is a law of bearing. Bearing means forbearing and sustaining...   The Christian must suffer and endure the brother. It is only when he is a burden that another person is really a brother and not merely an object to be manipulated. It is, first of all, the freedom of the other person that is a burden to the Christian. The freedom of the other person includes all that we mean by a person's nature, individuality, endowment. It also includes his weaknesses and oddities, which are such a trial to our patience, everything that produces frictions, conflicts, and collisions among us.   Then, there is the abuse of that freedom that becomes a burden for the Christian. In sin, fellowship with God and with his brother are broken. To cherish no contempt for the sinner but rather to prize the privilege of bearing him means not to have to give him up as lost, to be able to accept him, to preserve fellowship with him through forgiveness...   The service of forgiveness is rendered by one to the others daily. It occurs, without words, in the intercessions for one another. He who is bearing others knows that he himself is being borne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This coherence of the Bible itself, and of the Bible and the Church, is a coherence and a unity set ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7387]]></link><description><![CDATA[This coherence of the Bible itself, and of the Bible and the Church, is a coherence and a unity set in opposition to the world existing beyond its borders and outside its influence, so that there comes into being a tension between the world as it actually is and the Church, in so far as the Church rests upon the Biblical revelation of God. But this tension is not something that concerns the Church and the world as though they are things which exist outside us and apart from us, which we can consider and observe and discuss and have theories about. The tension between the Church and the world exists within us and is the very fiber of our being, and neither the one nor the other is superficial or trivial. For we are, all of us, of the earth, earthy; and we are also baptized members of Christ and His Church. It is precisely because we belong to two worlds that our lives consist in insecurity -- that we are, in fact, a drama, the final act of which, the judgement of reward or punishment, heaven or hell, is hidden from us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one good thing about the antiques business is the more, the better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40748]]></link><description><![CDATA[The one good thing about the antiques business is the more, the better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lo! where the rosy bosom'd Hours Fair Venus' train appear,  Disclose the long-expecting flowers,   And wake the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lo! where the rosy bosom'd Hours Fair Venus' train appear,  Disclose the long-expecting flowers,   And wake the purple year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43853]]></link><description><![CDATA[Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's eyes are what one is, one's mouth is what one becomes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66238]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's eyes are what one is, one's mouth is what one becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failing to plan is planning to fail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failing to plan is planning to fail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been wisely said that we cannot really love anybody at whom we never laugh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25837]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been wisely said that we cannot really love anybody at whom we never laugh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The unforgivable crime is soft hitting.
