It can only be combined with the vocation of a pioneer missionary of the classic type if matrimony is felt to be spiritually neutral, irrelevant to God's calling. Marriage can be irrelevant only if we believe that the body -- matter -- is neutral, irrelevant, or evil. Man can not believe that and believe the Christian faith. God made matter, and was incarnate in it: the comparison of the relation of husband and wife to that between Christ and the Church naturally follows. But this conclusion is not always drawn, for orthodox Christians are often prone to speak and behave as if the Lord... became not flesh but spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sit in your place and none can make you rise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sit in your place and none can make you rise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart was made to be broken ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58188]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart was made to be broken]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all options are closed before the Palestinians to get their rights, then only God knows what the Palestinians would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28306]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all options are closed before the Palestinians to get their rights, then only God knows what the Palestinians would do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better pointed bullets than pointed speeches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better pointed bullets than pointed speeches.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books are the carriers of civilization.

The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24372]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jest not with the two-edged sword of God's word. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jest not with the two-edged sword of God's word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Its Constitution--the glittering and sounding generalities of natural right which make up the Declaration of Independence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Its Constitution--the glittering and sounding generalities of natural right which make up the Declaration of Independence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are in impressive form, we play with enthusiasm.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse.
