The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't bother discussing sex with small children.

He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is an ape with possibilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19973]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is an ape with possibilities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe that ongoing year-over-year improvement in GM North American operations should accelerate as we progress though 2006 and, coupled ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39184]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe that ongoing year-over-year improvement in GM North American operations should accelerate as we progress though 2006 and, coupled with conclusion of the Delphi labor dispute, lead to a strong positive reaction in the company's stock price over time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This isn't about winning 55 or 60 games.
