It comes from him in his Sonship in a double way, as man living to God and as God living with men. Belief in him and loyalty to his cause involve men in the double movement, from world to God and from God to world. Even when theologies fail to do justice to this fact, Christians living with Christ in their cultures are aware of it. For they are forever being challenged to abandon all things for the sake of God; and forever being sent back into the world to teach and practice all the things that have been commanded them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything that is too stupid to be spoken is sung.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who forms the habit of beginning without finishing has simply formed the habit of failure. •Mrs. Charles E. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14934]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who forms the habit of beginning without finishing has simply formed the habit of failure. •Mrs. Charles E.

The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. •Louis Boone   Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. •Jim Rohn  There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. •Laurence J. Peter   If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless. •Robert H. Schuller   Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor. •Truman Capote   There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient. •Sri Swami Sivananda   Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. •Joe Paterno   Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits. •Robert Louis Stevenson   Failures are like skinned knees -- painful, but superficial. •H. Ross Perot   I cannot give the formula for success, but I can give you the formula of failure -- which is try to please everybody. •Herbert B. Swope   Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street. •Zig Ziglar  A proud heart can survive a general failure because such a failure does not prick its pride.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child's kiss is magic.
