It comes from him in his Sonship in a double way, as man living to God and as God living with men. Belief in him and loyalty to his cause involve men in the double movement, from world to God and from God to world. Even when theologies fail to do justice to this fact, Christians living with Christ in their cultures are aware of it. For they are forever being challenged to abandon all things for the sake of God; and forever being sent back into the world to teach and practice all the things that have been commanded them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death.

He's been the first goalie in the past. He won't lose his focus. He'll play another 10 years in the NHL. Game-sharp is just puck after puck (in practice). Since his last game, he's done two hours each day on ice. I think it was a good spot on the road. Sometimes, when you've stayed out a long time, it's better on the road.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are decent 99 percent of the time, when we could easily be vile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11575]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are decent 99 percent of the time, when we could easily be vile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Construction goes on. the court hasn't revoked or modified any permit, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Construction goes on. the court hasn't revoked or modified any permit,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We get so much in the habit of wearing disguises before others that we finally appear disguised before ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18516]]></link><description><![CDATA[We get so much in the habit of wearing disguises before others that we finally appear disguised before ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27246]]></link><description><![CDATA[She is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  It is necessary to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  It is necessary to die, but nobody wants to; you don't want to, but you are going to, willy-nilly. A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like it, but what am I going to do about it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40129]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't like it, but what am I going to do about it?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perplexed and troubled at his bad success The Tempter stood, nor had what to reply,  Discovered in his fraud, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16637]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perplexed and troubled at his bad success The Tempter stood, nor had what to reply,  Discovered in his fraud, thrown from his hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People point out that Romeo's never been a head coach, and this is definitely a big move that he's making, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38174]]></link><description><![CDATA[People point out that Romeo's never been a head coach, and this is definitely a big move that he's making,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60202]]></link><description><![CDATA[The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But childhood prolonged, cannot remain a fairyland.
