For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, but for thee, O Lord, there is no difference in these things; everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift.   ... Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a kind of alacrity in sinking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51425]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a kind of alacrity in sinking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're the party that wants to see an America in which people can still get rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45597]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're the party that wants to see an America in which people can still get rich.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indeed, unless a man can link his written thoughts with the everlasting wants of men, so that they shall draw ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indeed, unless a man can link his written thoughts with the everlasting wants of men, so that they shall draw more from them as wells, there is no more immortality to the thoughts and feelings of the soul than to the muscles and bones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I place love above everything, it is because for me it is the most desperate, the most despairing state ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65636]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I place love above everything, it is because for me it is the most desperate, the most despairing state of affairs imaginable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a nation loses its storytellers, it loses its childhood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64368]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a nation loses its storytellers, it loses its childhood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am bigger than anything that can happen to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22302]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am bigger than anything that can happen to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everything the middle course is the best; everything in excess brings trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14452]]></link><description><![CDATA[In everything the middle course is the best; everything in excess brings trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams;  I bear light shade for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8921]]></link><description><![CDATA[I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams;  I bear light shade for the leaves when laid   In their noonday dreams.    From my wings are shaken the dews that waken     The sweet buds every one,      When rocked to rest on their mother's breast,       As she dances about the sun.        I wield the flail of the lashing hail,         And whiten the green plains under,          And then again I dissolve it in rain,           And laugh as I pass in thunder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On many levels, the British presence is more sustainable.

The first: that the consciences of believers, in seeking assurance of their justification before God, should rise above and advance beyond the law, forgetting all law righteousness... The second part, dependent upon the first, is that consciences observe the law, not as if constrained by the necessity of the law, but that freed from the law's yoke they willingly obey God's will... The third part of Christian freedom lies in this: regarding outward things that are of themselves "indifferent", we are not bound before God by any religious obligation preventing us from sometimes using them and other times not using them, indifferently... Accordingly, it is perversely interpreted both by those who allege it as an excuse for their desires that they may abuse God's good gifts to their own lust and by those who think that freedom does not exist unless it is used before men, and consequently, in using it have no regard for weaker brethren... Nothing is plainer than this rule: that we should use our freedom if it results in the edification of our neighbor, but if it does not help our neighbor, then we should forego it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11246]]></link><description><![CDATA[A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60963]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.

Ideas do not rule the world.
