They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a small, limited experience, but it has enough follow-up to show us that tissue engineering is a viable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29517]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a small, limited experience, but it has enough follow-up to show us that tissue engineering is a viable tool that will allow us to tackle problems of similar magnitude.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54255]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps, moreover, he whose genius appears deepest and truest excels his fellows in nothing save the knack of expression; he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17320]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps, moreover, he whose genius appears deepest and truest excels his fellows in nothing save the knack of expression; he throws out occasionally a lucky hint at truths of which every human soul is profoundly though unutterably conscious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your ignorance cramps my conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your ignorance cramps my conversation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It appears we will have a balanced budget with no [fare] increase. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41710]]></link><description><![CDATA[It appears we will have a balanced budget with no [fare] increase.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a mad world, only the mad are sane. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52191]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a mad world, only the mad are sane.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Both the revolutionary and the creative individual are perpetual juveniles.

But man, being himself a part of fallen nature and subject to its disordered properties, is not allowed to work with them, because it would be stirring up evil in himself, and that is his sin of wrath or revenge. God therefore reserves all vengeance to Himself, not because wrathful revenge is a temper or quality that can have any place in the holy Deity, but because the holy supernatural Deity, being free from all the properties of nature, whence partial love and hatred spring, and being in Himself nothing but an infinity of love, wisdom, and goodness, He alone knows how to overrule the disorders of nature, and so to repay evil with evil, that the highest good may be promoted by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can they say my life is not a success?
