It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155   To worship effectively is to enable men to become free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6772]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155   To worship effectively is to enable men to become free.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6772</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[It is better to receive than to do an injury. [Lat., Accipere quam facere injuiam praestat.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20913]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to receive than to do an injury. [Lat., Accipere quam facere injuiam praestat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45174]]></link><description><![CDATA[The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither cast your pearls before swine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neither cast your pearls before swine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With diadem and sceptre high advanced, The lower still I fall; only supreme  In misery; such joy ambition finds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50663]]></link><description><![CDATA[With diadem and sceptre high advanced, The lower still I fall; only supreme  In misery; such joy ambition finds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No matter how you look at it, no matter how many lame arguments Cindy wants to make, my numbers are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32615]]></link><description><![CDATA[No matter how you look at it, no matter how many lame arguments Cindy wants to make, my numbers are bigger and she'll just have to get used to it,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace. Leave gormandizing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make less thy body hence, and more thy grace. Leave gormandizing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Generosity is another quality which, like patience, letting go,non-judging, and trust, provides a solid foundation for mindfulnesspractice.

You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity asa vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise ingiving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can giveyourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, orsome time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough toaccept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, andfrom the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have jumped the gun.
