"Follow me," "come unto me," and "ye will not come unto me," indicate sufficiently that what he offered to men was himself. He seeks to win men's acceptance of the truth that had come in him. His words and deeds served to indicate what manner of man he was and what kind of work he had come to do; and all the time it is a person addressing persons, seeking to gain their recognition of and their self-commitment to himself. He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a state of perfect peace with God which can be attained under imperfect obedience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7395]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a state of perfect peace with God which can be attained under imperfect obedience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you tired of sand being kicked in your face?

It is good. It is the best. It is the clean, clear cut teaching of God's Word, the trophies won by truth in its conflict with error, the levees which faith has raised against the desolating floods of honest or reckless misbelief or unbelief; but orthodoxy, clear and hard as crystal, suspicious and militant, may be but the letter well shaped, well named, and well learned, the letter which kills. Nothing is so dead as a dead orthodoxy -- too dead to speculate, too dead to think, to study, or to pray.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62847]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While you live, tell truth and shame the devil! -King Henry IV.

In the time at their disposal, it was just not worth while. Perhaps the best hope of reviving the Christian religion would be to convince the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and other dignitaries likewise, that the world will shortly be coming to an end. A difficult undertaking, I fear, notwithstanding much evidence pointing that way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing in Christianity or Buddhism that quite matches the sympathetic unselfishness of an oyster ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4960]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing in Christianity or Buddhism that quite matches the sympathetic unselfishness of an oyster]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature too unkind; That made no medicine for a troubled mind! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature too unkind; That made no medicine for a troubled mind!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is such a thing as taking ourselves and the world too seriously, or at any rate too anxiously.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4179]]></link><description><![CDATA[So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
