The vocation is answered in the home and office and factory and field. There it is that the People of God bears its witness to the vocation of the People of God, a people with a people's diversity and complex vitality, a people comprising a multiplicity of cultures and histories and colours and tongues, a people and not a collection of individuals, a people bound together in allegiance to one King and in obedience to one purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are more readers of the English Bible in this country than in any other, and the time seemed to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6476]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are more readers of the English Bible in this country than in any other, and the time seemed to me to have come for a frank and direct translation of the Greek New Testament into our modern spoken American English.

The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.   The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other. •Ma-Tsu   You cannot describe it or draw it. You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. •Mumon  Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M. Pirsig  Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. •Zen Proverb  Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is Love without his wings! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is Love without his wings!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doingordinary things extraordinarily well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21587]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things, but in doingordinary things extraordinarily well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Along with really protecting a lot of the young kids because they've been abused (in terms of usage) in high ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38905]]></link><description><![CDATA[Along with really protecting a lot of the young kids because they've been abused (in terms of usage) in high school and college, we're also going to be really aggressive with the guys that are in the system already.
