The masses teeming and happy /common clay, if you like /eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead. And then there are the others /the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Look to the lilies how they grow!" 'Twas thus the Saviour said, that we,  Even in the simplest flowers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25088]]></link><description><![CDATA["Look to the lilies how they grow!" 'Twas thus the Saviour said, that we,  Even in the simplest flowers that blow,   God's ever-watchful care might see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too often students are given answers to remember, rather than problems to solve ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too often students are given answers to remember, rather than problems to solve]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We only part to meet again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45564]]></link><description><![CDATA[We only part to meet again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379  It is a singularly unpleasant ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379  It is a singularly unpleasant thought that a book about Holy Communion is more likely to produce disagreement and controversy than one written on almost any other Christian subject. It seems a truly terrible thing that this Sacred Appointment, which was surely meant to unite, in actual practice divides Christians more sharply than any other part of their worship. Christians of various denominations may, and frequently do, work together on social projects, they may study the Scripture together, and they may ... pray together. But the moment attendance at the Lord's Table is suggested, up go the denominational barriers... I would make a strong plea that we do not exclude from the Lord's Table in our Church those who are undoubtedly sincere Christians. I cannot believe that to communicate together with our Lord should be regarded as the consummation, the final pinnacle, of the whole vast work of Reunion. Suppose it is the means and not the end. We might feel far more sharply the sin of our divisions and of our exclusiveness if we came humbly together to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord, and in that reception we might find such a quickening of our common devotion to Him that the divisions between us might be found not nearly so insuperable as we supposed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good nature without prudence, is foolishness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good nature without prudence, is foolishness]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's about stuff that first makes people laugh, and then makes them think.

We have been trying to apply machine-age methods to our relations with God. We read our chapter, have our short devotions, and rush away, hoping to make up for our deep inward bankruptcy by attending another gospel meeting or listening to another thrilling story told by a religious adventurer lately returned from afar. The tragic results of this spirit are all about us. Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies, the preponderance of the element of fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, trust in religious externalities, quasi-religious fellowships, salesmanship methods, the mistaking of dynamic personality for the power of the Spirit; these and such as these are the symptoms of an evil disease, a deep and serious malady of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It speaks to the fact that today's Democratic Party is so out of the mainstream, it has moved so far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40655]]></link><description><![CDATA[It speaks to the fact that today's Democratic Party is so out of the mainstream, it has moved so far left, that a senator who just 12 years ago supported a then-centrist Democrat -- Bill Clinton -- is unable to support today's Democratic nominee.
