I think that the Catholic Church ought to have maintained and used ecclesiastical and sacerdotal authority, but that its maintenance and its use ought to have been accompanied with a continual fear. Because they had before them this fact, that however divinely authoritative, however securely resting on a basis of legitimate and genuine inspiration, yet the ecclesiastical authority of the Old Covenant, by no process of sudden revolution, but simply by a process of gradual development, was capable of becoming something so utterly alien in spirit from what it was intended to be, that when the Christ came, to prepare for whom and to welcome whom was the one reason for which it existed, it did in fact reject Him utterly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man's character is his fate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man's character is his fate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have literally stuck their hands into a hornets' nest.

He thus definitely declared Himself to be the personal embodiment of the living God. Later the Apostle Paul applied this term to Christians... "Ye are God's building... Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" And again, "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?" Paul taught that it is God's people who constitute the true church of God, and wherever they have fellowship in the Gospel, God is there. Moreover, he emphasized that as members of this true church it is our privilege to be "laborers together with God." It is our privilege to build upon the one foundation, Jesus Christ, with gold, silver, precious stones -- the kind of Christian service which abides for recognition at the judgment seat of Christ. Again, it is our responsibility to be consecrated for holy living and faithful service, "for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; so we must shun evil, and, since we have been bought with a price, we must glorify God in body and spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27494]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the rough, a symbol is a sign that stands for something… Before a noise, etc., may become a symbol, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24233]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the rough, a symbol is a sign that stands for something… Before a noise, etc., may become a symbol, something must exist for the symbol to symbolize.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a body [like Congress] where there are more than one hundred talking lawyers, you can make no calculation upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35113]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a body [like Congress] where there are more than one hundred talking lawyers, you can make no calculation upon the termination of any debate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26362]]></link><description><![CDATA[To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were afraid, never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19476]]></link><description><![CDATA[They were afraid, never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a long history in country music of songs celebrating drinking and lamenting drinking.

Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baseball ought never be hurried.
