For a brief while, Peter, James, and John were permitted to see Him in His glory. For that brief while they had no need of faith. The vision vanished, and the memory of it did not prevent them from all forsaking Him when He was arrested, or Peter from denying that he had ever known Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification; and as without this, without holiness, no man shall see God, though he pore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification; and as without this, without holiness, no man shall see God, though he pore whole nights upon his Bible; so without that, without humility, no man shall hear God speak to his soul, though he hear three two-hour sermons every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42862]]></link><description><![CDATA[A crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People at the seminars will learn about the tools of estate planning in the other topics.

Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thread breakes, where it is weakest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49921]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thread breakes, where it is weakest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no forgiveness in nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63335]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no forgiveness in nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Order is repetition of units.Chaos is multiplicity without rythm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Order is repetition of units.Chaos is multiplicity without rythm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spiders are relatively high in protein, but they tickle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spiders are relatively high in protein, but they tickle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I truly believe that individuals can make a difference in society.

Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The engines for growth are not only early-stage life science and information technology, but additions and expansion, taking existing companies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38641]]></link><description><![CDATA[The engines for growth are not only early-stage life science and information technology, but additions and expansion, taking existing companies to a hundred employees and more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who dares think one thing, and another tell, My heart detests him as the gates of hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who dares think one thing, and another tell, My heart detests him as the gates of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is the virtue of fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is the virtue of fools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit is educated insolence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit is educated insolence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In his address of 19 September 1796, given as he prepared to leave office, President George Washington spoke about the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60281]]></link><description><![CDATA[In his address of 19 September 1796, given as he prepared to leave office, President George Washington spoke about the importance of morality to the country's well-being: Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports....
