Man, a child of God, is a person with a personal destiny and with eternal value. This Christian belief underlies the democratic principle that the State, first of all, exists for the sake of its citizens; the individual is important... As Christians we also believe that we are made for one another because we are made for God. "Solidarity" is a good word for our essential condition. Beneath all our differences is a unity... This Christian belief underlies a second basic democratic principle, which is, in governing themselves, people of a community -- in a town, a city, a state, a nation -- can, despite inevitable conflicts, press effectively toward the goal of justice and liberty for all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him. -Booker T.

Whose is it? The clue lies in Acts 12, where St. Peter, strangely freed from Herod's prison, knows at whose house they will be gathered for prayer. He knocks, startles the gate-girl Rhoda. It was "the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark" -- the young man who was to write the earliest of the gospels. The first meeting place of any Christian congregation was the home of a woman in Jerusalem. Something of the sort happens everywhere. The church in Caesarea centres upon Philip the Evangelist. "Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." ... Joppa church depends on Tabitha, "a woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did". Follow St. Paul about the Mediterranean. He crosses to Europe because he dreams of a man from Macedonia who cries, "Come over and help us". But when he lands at Philippi it is not a man, but a woman. "Lydia was baptized and her household" -- his first convert in Europe, a woman. Everywhere women are the most notable of the converts, often the only ones who believe. In Thessalonica there are "of the chief women not a few"; Beroea, "Greek women of honourable estate"; Athens, only two names, one of them, Damaris, a woman. At Corinth Priscilla and Aquila come into the story, the pair always mentioned together, and four times out of the six with the wife's name first, a thing undreamed of in the first century. Why? Because she counted for more in church affairs -- hostess of the church in her houses in Corinth, Ephesus and Rome, chief instructress of Apollos the missionary, intimate of the greatest missionary of all, St. Paul. Six times in the Epistles greetings are sent to a house-church, and in five cases the church is linked with a woman's name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you label me you negate me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you label me you negate me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greater the obstacle the more glory in overcoming it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45144]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greater the obstacle the more glory in overcoming it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think we can take out any ads, ... because it would be misleading.
