I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them the revelation of God to men was made, or appeared to be made, less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro' nature, moulding men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11092]]></link><description><![CDATA[And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro' nature, moulding men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17493]]></link><description><![CDATA[The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some groups that are resistant to vaccination because of the belief that influenza shot causes the flu.

Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19600]]></link><description><![CDATA[I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few people even scratch the surface, much less exhaust the contemplation of their own experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few people even scratch the surface, much less exhaust the contemplation of their own experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say.

My gracious Master and my God,   Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad   The honours of thy name. Jesus! the name that charms our fears,   That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears,   'Tis life, and health, and peace. He breaks the power of cancelled sin,   He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean,   His blood availed for me. He speaks, and, listening to his voice,   New life the dead receive, The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,   The humble poor believe. Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,   Your loosened tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,   And leap, ye lame, for joy. Look unto him, ye nations, own   Your God, ye fallen race; Look, and be saved through faith alone,   Be justified by grace. See all your sins on Jesus laid:   The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an offering made   For every soul of man. Awake from guilty nature's sleep,   And Christ shall give you light, Cast all your sins into the deep,   And wash you purest white. With me, your chief, ye then shall know,   Shall feel your sins forgiven; Anticipate your heaven below,   And own that love is heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks.
