There's no telling what to expect when Christ Walks in the door. The table set for four Must often be enlarged, and decorum Thrown to the winds. It's His voice that calls them, And it's no use to bolt and bar the door: His kingdom knows no bounds of roof, of wall or floor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm proud of paying taxes.

If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit. For it is not right for man unrestrainedly to search out things that the Lord has willed to be hidden in Himself; nor is it right for him to investigate from eternity that sublime wisdom, which God would have us revere but not understand, in order that through this also He should fill us with wonder. He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the most unhappy people who most fear change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5540]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank heaven.

The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66625]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They brought the left-hander to turn Lance around and he came up with a big hit immediately, ...

And if they can but get to be of a Sect which they think the holiest (as the Anabaptists and the Separatists), or which is the largest (as the Greeks and the Romans), they think then that they are sufficiently warranted to deny others to be God's Church, or at least to deny them Christian love and communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're just trying to find the right combination of what will ultimately be our best group. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36009]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're just trying to find the right combination of what will ultimately be our best group.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A riot is a spontaneous outburst.
