He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We did not get enough time to negotiate or to make any efforts for his safe return.

But the NFL did a survey two years ago where they found out the people who play fantasy football actually are their season-ticket holders. So now we've turned a corner from, 'Is this gambling?' to the realization that, 'Hey, this a fun hobby played by a lot of our fans.' And for the most part, it's bragging rights -- not money -- that people are after in fantasy football.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must not contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a madman is not cured by another running mad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58729]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must not contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a madman is not cured by another running mad also.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2716]]></link><description><![CDATA[And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him: And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some report elsewhere whatever is told them; the measure of fiction always increases, and each fresh narrator adds something to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some report elsewhere whatever is told them; the measure of fiction always increases, and each fresh narrator adds something to what he has heard. [Lat., Hi narrata ferunt alio; mensuraque ficti  Crescit et auditus aliquid novus adjicit auctor.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In politics, an absurdity is not a handicap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/226]]></link><description><![CDATA[In politics, an absurdity is not a handicap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The aura of the theocratic death penalty for adultery still clings to America, even outside New England, and multiple divorce, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2015]]></link><description><![CDATA[The aura of the theocratic death penalty for adultery still clings to America, even outside New England, and multiple divorce, which looks to the European like serial polygamy, is the moral solution to the problem of the itch. Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract. Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Twice does he live who can enjoy the remembrance of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Twice does he live who can enjoy the remembrance of the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a real body; there can be no doubt about that.

Hundreds of people could not have been so mistaken, especially when Jesus offered clear evidence of it. But it was not an earthbound body. It was something that bore a developmental relationship to an earthly human body, but it was not identical with it. There was clearly a continuity of life between the body of Jesus and the body of the resurrected Jesus, but in the process of resurrection it had undergone a very fundamental change. That, at least, seems obvious. So much for the list of dissimilarities; the body of Jesus after the resurrection had a different appearance and also a different "form". It was "like" the previous body, it had some sort of developmental relationship to it, but it was obviously not "identical" with it. Now we must consider the similarities. Strangely, they all came down to one factor, but that factor is so important that it outweighs all the dissimilarities. It is simply this: Jesus before and after the resurrection was undeniably the same person. No matter what extraordinary changes had taken place in his bodily form, all who knew him well had no doubt at all who he was. They "knew" it was the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One day soon the Gillette company will announce the development of a razor that, thanks to a computer microchip, can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58811]]></link><description><![CDATA[One day soon the Gillette company will announce the development of a razor that, thanks to a computer microchip, can actually travel ahead in time and shave beard hairs that don't even exist yet]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44419]]></link><description><![CDATA[New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coolest f-word ever deserves a fucking shout!
