Not by making vast claims for himself, though such claims were implicit. His authority seemed to reside in what he was and what he did rather than in what he specifically claimed to be. Especially in Mark's Gospel there is an elusive quality about his authority, the mystery of the hidden Messiah. His authority was at the same time most deeply hidden and most clearly expressed by his servanthood... The more the Church in its life shows forth the character of the Servant, the more will its teaching bear the marks of the authority of the Servant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The effect of having other interests beyond those domestic works well.

He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one knows what Falls Church retail is today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36384]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one knows what Falls Church retail is today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hasten to laugh at everything for fear of being obliged to weep at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61506]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hasten to laugh at everything for fear of being obliged to weep at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune, by being too lavish of her favours on a man, only makes a fool of him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune, by being too lavish of her favours on a man, only makes a fool of him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always do your best.
