Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you hold it up, you can see right through it.

In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe the only explanation is that God did something extraordinary for Ryan.

Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old things need not be therefore true, O brother men, nor yet the new;  Ah! still awhile the old ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59211]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old things need not be therefore true, O brother men, nor yet the new;  Ah! still awhile the old thought retain,   And yet consider it again!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18142]]></link><description><![CDATA[When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run  From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead;   That is the grasshopper's--he takes the lead    In summer luxury--he has never done     With his delights, for when tired out with fun,      He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Competition creates better products, alliances create better companies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Competition creates better products, alliances create better companies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We confess our bad qualities to others out of fear of appearing naive or ridiculous by not being aware of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9645]]></link><description><![CDATA[We confess our bad qualities to others out of fear of appearing naive or ridiculous by not being aware of them]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness has many roots, but none more important than security. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness has many roots, but none more important than security.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Andrew the Apostle  This means that we do not know what are the limits of human history, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7213]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Andrew the Apostle  This means that we do not know what are the limits of human history, but it does not mean that there are no real limits. It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item></channel></rss>
