It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I worked so hard for that first kissAnd a heart don’t forget something like thatLike an old photographTime can make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26905]]></link><description><![CDATA[I worked so hard for that first kissAnd a heart don’t forget something like thatLike an old photographTime can make a feeling fadeBut the memory of a first loveNever fades away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47431]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5691]]></link><description><![CDATA[And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13746]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each of us makes his own weather, determines the color of the skies in the emotional universe which he inhabits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Informed decision-making comes from a long tradition of guessing and then blaming others for inadequate results. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Informed decision-making comes from a long tradition of guessing and then blaming others for inadequate results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without promotion something terrible happens...
