Even if we were first to grant the presence of a "Christendom" situation [where] Church and State would be virtually coextensive, the nation of Israel would still remain unique. The focus of salvation is on the historical action of God in forming a people for Himself, and there is no indication anywhere in the Bible that God promises political salvation even inside the context of the full salvation of His people, let alone outside it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I discovered my wife in bed with another man, and I was crushed.

Shrinking from any deep self-scrutiny is by no means an uncommon thing, and often goes far to explain the feverish restlessness with which a world-loving heart plunges into perpetual rounds of gaieties and dissipations; they serve as an escape from troublesome questions about the soul, and help to get rid of the clamours of conscience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense among men of fortune is rare. [Lat., Rarus enim ferme sunsus communis in illa  Fortuna.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense among men of fortune is rare. [Lat., Rarus enim ferme sunsus communis in illa  Fortuna.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19731]]></link><description><![CDATA[The body is shaped, disciplined, honored, and in time, trusted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550 Continuing a short series on education:   We demand, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550 Continuing a short series on education:   We demand, as [St. Paul] did, that the candidate must be of good moral character -- at least, so far as that he can produce testimonials to his good conduct. We demand, as the apostle demanded, that he must hold fast the faithful word -- at least, so far as that he shall not write deliberate heresy in his examination papers, and shall profess belief in the Creed. We demand, as he demanded, that the candidate must be apt to teach -- at least, so far as an examination of his verbal memory can prove that he knows what he ought to teach. But there is some difference between the "without reproach" of the apostle and our testimonials; and there is a difference between the holding fast of the faith by a man tried in the furnace of life, and the soundness in the faith of a youth fresh from a theological school; and the aptness to teach of a man of experience and social authority is not quite the same thing as the aptness to teach of a young man who has just passed an examination in the subject-matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Profits, like sausages... are esteemed most by those who know least about what goes into them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48338]]></link><description><![CDATA[Profits, like sausages... are esteemed most by those who know least about what goes into them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48338</guid></item></channel></rss>
