We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[At the Old-Time Radio Convention, which expects 600 attendees this weekend, leaders have begun inviting television stars -- over the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29667]]></link><description><![CDATA[[At the Old-Time Radio Convention, which expects 600 attendees this weekend, leaders have begun inviting television stars -- over the objections of purists who argue that only radio performers should be welcome.] If it becomes 'Friends of Old-Time Television,' I'm out of there, ...

And in view of what he plainly said, is it any wonder that all who were rich and prosperous felt a horror of strange things, a swimming of their world at his teaching? Perhaps the priests and the rich men understood him better than his followers. He was dragging out all the little private reservations they had made from social service into the light of a universal religious life. He was like some terrible moral huntsman digging mankind out of the snug burrows in which they had lived hitherto. In the white blaze of this kingdom of his there was to be no property, no privilege, no pride and precedence; no motive indeed and no reward but love. Is it any wonder that men were dazzled and blinded and cried out against him? Even his disciples cried out when he would not spare them the light. Is it any wonder that the priests realized that between this man and themselves there was no choice but that he or priestcraft should perish? Is it any wonder that the Roman soldiers, confronted and amazed by something soaring over their comprehension and threatening all their disciplines, should take refuge in wild laughter, and crown him with thorns and robe him in purple and make a mock Caesar of him? For to take him seriously was to enter upon a strange and alarming life, to abandon habits, to control instincts and impulses, to essay an incredible happiness... Is it any wonder that to this day this Galilean is too much for our small hearts?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never elated while one man's oppress'd; Never dejected while another's blessed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never elated while one man's oppress'd; Never dejected while another's blessed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ignorance and superstition ever bear a close and mathematical relation to each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52065]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ignorance and superstition ever bear a close and mathematical relation to each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23723]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The knowledge of the world is only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
