The indications are that such an impairment is brought about not by strengthening the individual and pitting him against the possessors of power, but by distributing and diversifying power and pitting one category or unit of power against the other. Where power is one, the defeated individual, however strong and resourceful, can have no refuge and no recourse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence, indeed, is the one form of worship which is almost universally thought intolerable by Dissenting clergy.

Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking. And since their organists too are equally reluctant to let any liturgical action pass without a ruminative obbligato on the Swell manual, congregations are subjected to unrelieved noise during a service which may well have begun with the reading of the sentence, "Be still, and know that I am God.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a part of all that I have met. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26639]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am a part of all that I have met.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our memories are the only paradise from which we can never be expelled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our memories are the only paradise from which we can never be expelled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got things like the lotus position long before anybody else did, or at least in the mainstream.

Education ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on education:   What are the gifts of biblical faith to the secular university? Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live. Not man as "pure reason": his reason is not pure. Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure... to good or to demonic purpose. Not man with his steps on the highroad called evolution: he is relatively free and, therefore, can and does wreck any evolution unless some Grace constantly renews his onward journey. Not man who by his science is sure to fashion a "brave new world"; by science he can destroy the world. Not man as centrally and characteristically a reasonable creature who needs only that his mind shall be educated to build a reasonable world. Not man regarded in any naive faith, but man as potentially divine and potentially unworthy, who stands always in need of help from beyond the confines of the natural order. If education confronts this faith, education will know that the mind's adventure also, like all things human, stands in need of redemption; and it can then proceed with lowliness, and thus with the power and light which are the reward of the lowly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8308</guid></item></channel></rss>
