Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soon as the potion works, their human count'nance, Th' express resemblance of the gods, is chang'd  Into some bruitish ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22925]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soon as the potion works, their human count'nance, Th' express resemblance of the gods, is chang'd  Into some bruitish form of wolf or bear,   Or ounce or tiger, hog, or bearded goat,    All other parts remaining as they were;     And they, so perfect in their misery,      Not once perceive their foul disfigurement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behold the Sea, The opaline, the plentiful and strong,  Yet beautiful as is the rose in June,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behold the Sea, The opaline, the plentiful and strong,  Yet beautiful as is the rose in June,   Fresh as the trickling rainbow of July;    Sea full of food, the nourisher of kinds,     Purger of earth, and medicine of men;      Creating a sweet climate by my breath,       Washing out harms and griefs from memory,        And, in my mathematic ebb and flow,         Giving a hint of that which changes not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moderation is commonly firm, and firmness is commonly successful ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42871]]></link><description><![CDATA[Moderation is commonly firm, and firmness is commonly successful]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've sometimes thought of marrying, and then I've thought again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27105]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've sometimes thought of marrying, and then I've thought again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gently on tiptoe Sunday creeps, Cheerfully from the stars he peeps,  Mortals are all asleep below,   None ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gently on tiptoe Sunday creeps, Cheerfully from the stars he peeps,  Mortals are all asleep below,   None in the village hears him go;    E'en chanticleer keeps very still,     For Sunday whispered, 'twas his will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To Know the road ahead, ask those coming back ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62837]]></link><description><![CDATA[To Know the road ahead, ask those coming back]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Calmness is the cradle of power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66330]]></link><description><![CDATA[Calmness is the cradle of power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played even after falling behind, ...

It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. -The Merchant of Venice. Act iv. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crying is the only way your eyes speak when your mouth cant explain how things made your heart broken.
