He taught that God, as the great feudal superior of the universe, allotted to all earthly authorities their rule in fief as subject to Himself. The priesthood was not an office of dominion, but of service, and its prerogatives ceased when service was not rendered. Dominion was not granted to one person as God's Vicar on earth, but the King was as much God's Vicar as the Pope; nay, every Christian held his rights immediately of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing exists until or unless it is observed.

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two levers for moving men: interest and fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22948]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two levers for moving men: interest and fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The death-change comes. Death is another life.

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[A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56436]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The security of Society lies in custom and unconscious instinct, and the basis of the stability of Society, as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57806]]></link><description><![CDATA[The security of Society lies in custom and unconscious instinct, and the basis of the stability of Society, as a healthy organism, is the complete absence of any intelligence amongst its members.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14361]]></link><description><![CDATA[This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called "natural selection, or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14334]]></link><description><![CDATA[While the rest of the species is descended from apes, redheads are descended from cats.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14334</guid></item></channel></rss>
