It is to such a degree an element of our thinking that we hardly notice it. It has been since the first centuries a standard view, a means to give account of the, indeed, often disappointing state and quality of Christian faith and practice in the Church as it appeared. As such it is understandable; but nevertheless it proceeds more from the counsels of worldly wisdom than from the faith-as-response by which the Church should live, and the call to incessant renewal under which the Church stands as "God's own household", "growing into a holy temple in the Lord". However stubborn and refractory the stuff of ordinary reality may be -- and it is -- the Church, though with clear realism seeing this reality, can never permit itself to put the divine indicatives and imperatives, which are her peculiar directives and points of orientation, behind considerations which are properly speaking worldly in character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one success-to be able to spend your lifein your own way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22392]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one success-to be able to spend your lifein your own way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is, as it were, a second self. [Lat., Amicus est tanquam alter idem.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16768]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is, as it were, a second self. [Lat., Amicus est tanquam alter idem.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who covereth thyself with light as a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who covereth thyself with light as a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:  Who maketh his angels spirits: his ministers a flaming fire:   Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56476]]></link><description><![CDATA[For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of the software ideas of the late '90s which people tried and failed on--customer relationship management, marketing analytics, supply ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of the software ideas of the late '90s which people tried and failed on--customer relationship management, marketing analytics, supply chain management, B2B procurement--those ideas all made sense and had good business justifications.

But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Credulity is belief in slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Credulity is belief in slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Props to Camille.

She not only abstained from beating him, but encouraged him. He next time stole a cloak and brought it to her, and she again commended him. The Youth, advanced to adulthood, proceeded to steal things of still greater value. At last he was caught in the very act, and having his hands bound behind him, was led away to the place of public execution. His Mother followed in the crowd and violently beat her breast in sorrow, whereupon the young man said, I wish to say something to my Mother in her ear. She came close to him, and he quickly seized her ear with his teeth and bit it off. The Mother upbraided him as an unnatural child, whereon he replied, Ah! if you had beaten me when I first stole and brought to you that lesson-book, I should not have come to this, nor have been thus led to a disgraceful death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One does not sell the earth upon which the people walk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23973]]></link><description><![CDATA[One does not sell the earth upon which the people walk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23973</guid></item></channel></rss>
