The Christian Church has a secret at her heart and she wants to share it. Whenever one, by repentance and forgiveness, enters this community of grace, he discovers life's end, and he too will be constrained to let this life flow out in appropriate channels. Thrilling and costly projects will come into existence, but not as ends in themselves, and the group will not become a means to [such ends]. The group will never forget that one of its primary functions is to up build the members in love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience lightens the burthen we cannot avert. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience lightens the burthen we cannot avert.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot strike out in your first major-league at-bat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41868]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot strike out in your first major-league at-bat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is just like the story of Al Capone.

That hope alone explains the Book, giving meaning and consistency to its story. Was it a chimera, an hallucination? According to the prophecy of Micah, the messianic Shepherd of Israel had to be born in Bethlehem. It is unthinkable that an heir to the throne of David could be born in Bethlehem now, and be also able to prove his legitimacy by documentary evidence. The event must clearly have taken place already, or Micah is a false prophet, a raiser of false hopes, along with the other writers in the Old Testament.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reproachful speech from either side The want of argument supplied;  They rail, reviled; as often ends   The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reproachful speech from either side The want of argument supplied;  They rail, reviled; as often ends   The contests of disputing friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54636]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Law of Attraction attracts to you everything you need,according to the nature of your thought life.

It is the most humanitarian of all known bodies of laws before recent times. The laws about slavery, which envisage the liberation of Hebrew slaves after seven years, are a good example. But there are also laws protecting the poor: interest (always high in the ancient East) was prohibited, and again there was a moratorium after a term of years... Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is in the hands of God.

That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25464]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some books are to be tasted; others swallowed; and some to be chewed and digested. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some books are to be tasted; others swallowed; and some to be chewed and digested.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never go to bed mad.
