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/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I depart, Whither I know not; but the hour's gone by  When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59611]]></link><description><![CDATA[I depart, Whither I know not; but the hour's gone by  When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad mine eye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, it is excellent To have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous  To use it like a giant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57949]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, it is excellent To have a giant's strength, but it is tyrannous  To use it like a giant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now it's time to expand beyond the operational people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now it's time to expand beyond the operational people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Management: First fix the blame.

I had the opportunity to serve as a bishop in a campus ward while I was still an assistant coach. When I was appointed head football coach in 1972, I decided to approach my role as a coach much the same as I did as a bishop, delegating responsibility to my assistants, putting responsibility on the players for self-improvement in all aspects of their lives, and using personal interviews with players to try to give positive reinforcement and encouragement so that they might do their very best and reach their full potential, both on and off the field.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tombs are the clothes of the dead; a grave is but a plain suit; a rich monument is an embroidered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43033]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tombs are the clothes of the dead; a grave is but a plain suit; a rich monument is an embroidered one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason is not automatic.

My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember she had these long, lovely nails with red varnish, in the middle of this shitty place we were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39529]]></link><description><![CDATA[I remember she had these long, lovely nails with red varnish, in the middle of this shitty place we were in!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the night Shows stars and women in a better light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44519]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the night Shows stars and women in a better light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a kind of men so loose of soul, That in their sleeps will mutter their affairs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51454]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a kind of men so loose of soul, That in their sleeps will mutter their affairs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.
