We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's always the people that know you the least, that judge you the most. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63346]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's always the people that know you the least, that judge you the most.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're very fortunate because we're starting fall break tonight.

It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The "private sector" of the economy is, in fact, the voluntary sector; and...the "public sector" is, in fact, the coercive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47452]]></link><description><![CDATA[The "private sector" of the economy is, in fact, the voluntary sector; and...the "public sector" is, in fact, the coercive sector.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I had no work and all this time on my hands, I couldn't get a date.

He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slow let us trace the matchless vale of Thames; Fair winding up to where the Muses haunt  In Twit'nham ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slow let us trace the matchless vale of Thames; Fair winding up to where the Muses haunt  In Twit'nham bowers, and for their Pope implore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of being concerned that you have no office, be concerned to think how you may fit yourself for office. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64736]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of being concerned that you have no office, be concerned to think how you may fit yourself for office.
