How could pagans have developed words for Christian ideas which have never occurred to them? This identical situation existed when the Holy Spirit inspired the New Testament. At that time many pagan words, with pagan-thought background, were used in Christian contexts; by the contexts the present Christian meaning eventually built up, until it was possible to express all the Christian meaning in the pagan terms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great many complimentary things have been said about the faculty of memory, and if you look in a good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26934]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great many complimentary things have been said about the faculty of memory, and if you look in a good quotation book you will find them neatly arranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man seems the only growth that dwindles here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man seems the only growth that dwindles here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The word is half his that speaks, and half his that hears it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44701]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it;

Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse. The academic backwoodsmen have been the curse of genius from Aristarchus to Darwin and Freud; they stretch, a solid and hostile phalanx of pedantic mediocrities, across the centuries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fate of a nation has often depended on the food or bad digestion of a prime minister. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19340]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fate of a nation has often depended on the food or bad digestion of a prime minister.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shortest distance between two jokes makes a perfect speech. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23310]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shortest distance between two jokes makes a perfect speech.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Authority forgets a dying king, Laid widow'd of the power in his eye  That bow'd the will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Authority forgets a dying king, Laid widow'd of the power in his eye  That bow'd the will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12917]]></link><description><![CDATA[When your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mechanical difficulties with language are the outcome of internal difficulties with thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24055]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mechanical difficulties with language are the outcome of internal difficulties with thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65607]]></link><description><![CDATA[A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974   The reason that the Ten Commandments are short and clear is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974   The reason that the Ten Commandments are short and clear is that they were handed down direct, and not through several committees.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16782]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a very funny play.

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[It's very much a summer market. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30649]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's very much a summer market.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you get closer to the election, the likelihood that Congress is going to be able to pass legislation, particularly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34650]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you get closer to the election, the likelihood that Congress is going to be able to pass legislation, particularly on what might be viewed as partisan or difficult issues, diminishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are born believing.
