And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do withthem that's important. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22601]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do withthem that's important.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know. [Lat., Non me pudet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20404]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know. [Lat., Non me pudet fateri nescire quod nesciam.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My job is usually to help the team by playing defense and leading the club.

Let us not think of it vaguely, and fall into the heretical fancy that the Son of God became man merely to transact certain things which were necessary to secure the salvation of men, and that after this object was achieved His human nature recedes into the background and impenetrable obscurity. No, it is not so; all-important as His work on earth was -- the only foundation of our hope and blessedness -- let us adore the revealed mystery that God gave us His Son, never to recall Him, as it were, and take Him away from us; He spared Him not and gave Him to us, allowing Him to become man, exalting Him as the Son of Man, enthroning Him because of his obedience unto death, and giving unto Him as the Son of Man all power in heaven and earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In prosperity you may count on many friends; if the sky becomes overcast you will be alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50734]]></link><description><![CDATA[In prosperity you may count on many friends; if the sky becomes overcast you will be alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis not in mortals to command success, But we'll do more, Sempronius,--  We'll deserve it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58122]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis not in mortals to command success, But we'll do more, Sempronius,--  We'll deserve it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's important to recognize that charter schools are public schools, and that it is better for your tax dollars to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37538]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's important to recognize that charter schools are public schools, and that it is better for your tax dollars to be spent on innovative programs that equip children to succeed, rather than always sending money to schools regardless of whether or not they succeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She wasn't expected to live the first week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34043]]></link><description><![CDATA[She wasn't expected to live the first week.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14845]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people choose not to donate their services because they believe that it somehow devalues them by "giving them away." ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people choose not to donate their services because they believe that it somehow devalues them by "giving them away."

But, since we are concerned with an occurrence which is by hypothesis unique in certain relevant aspects, we are most unlikely to be able to give confident answers to them. [Paul M.] van Buren's remarks about biology and the twentieth century are nothing more than rhetoric or, at best, are simply empirical statements about his own psychology. The first century knew as well as the twentieth that dead bodies do not naturally come to life again, and no amount of twentieth-century knowledge about natural processes can tell us what may happen by supernatural means.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God heals and the doctor takes the fee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26749]]></link><description><![CDATA[God heals and the doctor takes the fee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Michael is starting to get real consistent.
