For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, but for thee, O Lord, there is no difference in these things; everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift.   ... Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unconscious humor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unconscious humor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes life's so much cooler when you just don't know any better and all the painful lessons have not hammered your head open yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To live peaceably with all breedes good blood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50009]]></link><description><![CDATA[To live peaceably with all breedes good blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At this time we do not have any specific suspicion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35203]]></link><description><![CDATA[At this time we do not have any specific suspicion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the devil grows old he turns hermit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41137]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the devil grows old he turns hermit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the man who crosses the river at night knows the value of the light of day ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the man who crosses the river at night knows the value of the light of day]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people, once they graduate from the School of Hard Knocks,automatically enroll in the University of Adversity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people, once they graduate from the School of Hard Knocks,automatically enroll in the University of Adversity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing's more dull and negligent Than an old, lazy government,  That knows no interest of state,   But ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing's more dull and negligent Than an old, lazy government,  That knows no interest of state,   But such as serves a present strait.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wee leave more to do when wee dye, then wee have done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50050]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wee leave more to do when wee dye, then wee have done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1463]]></link><description><![CDATA[A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most casual examination will reveal the fact that all the jokes about the horrible results of masculine cooking and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14376]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most casual examination will reveal the fact that all the jokes about the horrible results of masculine cooking and sewing are written by men.

Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? It is just the opposite: it is to make its burden light. Attached to the oxen in any other way than by a yoke, the plow would be intolerable; worked by means of a yoke, it is light. A yoke is not an instrument of torture; it is an instrument of mercy. It is not a malicious contrivance for making work hard; it is a gentle device to make hard labor light. [Christ] knew the difference between a smooth yoke and a rough one, a bad fit and a good one... The rough yoke galled, and the burden was heavy; the smooth yoke caused no pain, and the load was lightly drawn. The badly fitted harness was a misery; the well fitted collar was "easy". And what was the "burden"? It was not some special burden laid upon the Christian, some unique infliction that they alone must bear. It was what all men bear: it was simply life, human life itself, the general burden of life which all must carry with them from the cradle to the grave. Christ saw that men took life painfully. To some it was a weariness, to others failure, to many a tragedy, to all a struggle and a pain. How to carry this burden of life had been the whole world's problem. And here is Christ's solution: "Carry it as I do. Take life as I take it. Look at it from my point of view. Interpret it upon my principles. Take my yoke and learn of me, and you will find it easy. For my yoke is easy, sits right upon the shoulders, and therefore my burden is light.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man puts on a Character he is a stranger to, there's as much difference between what he appears, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20225]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man puts on a Character he is a stranger to, there's as much difference between what he appears, and what he is really in himself, as there is between a VIzor and a Face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the people we’ve become, well, they’ve never been the people who we are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12552]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the people we’ve become, well, they’ve never been the people who we are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like plants in mines, which never saw the sun, But dream of him, and guess where he may be,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48356]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like plants in mines, which never saw the sun, But dream of him, and guess where he may be,  And do the best to climb, and get to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gates of monarchs Are arched so high that giants may jet through  And keep their impious turbans on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54504]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gates of monarchs Are arched so high that giants may jet through  And keep their impious turbans on without   Good morrow to the sun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Endurance is the crowning quality, And patience all the passion of great hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45726]]></link><description><![CDATA[Endurance is the crowning quality, And patience all the passion of great hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair,  but manifestations of strength and resolution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair,  but manifestations of strength and resolution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as U.S. and UK forces hold prisoners in secret detention conditions, torture is much more likely to occur, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39545]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as U.S. and UK forces hold prisoners in secret detention conditions, torture is much more likely to occur, to go undetected and to go unpunished.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882  The commandment of God is, that we love Our Lord in all our heart, in all our soul, in all our thought. In all our heart; that is, in all our understanding without erring. In all our soul; that is, in all our will without gainsaying. In all our thought; that is, that we think on Him without forgetting.
