We can only rearrange the elements God has provided. No one can create a new primary color, a third sex, a fourth dimension, or a completely original animal.

Doubts are the messengers of the Living One to the honest. They are the first knock at our door of things that are not yet, but have to be, understood... Doubt must precede every deeper assurance; for uncertainties are what we first see when we look into a region hitherto unknown, unexplored, unannexed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is a necessary ingredient of genius.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was a queen, and you took away my crown, a wife, and you killed my huband, a mother, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41605]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was a queen, and you took away my crown, a wife, and you killed my huband, a mother, and you took my children away from me.

What can and must be said and resaid, with all gratitude for what in many places is already happening, is that a fearless scrutiny and revision of structure is one of the most urgent aspects of a renewal of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess when you have that one monster season, it's good because you're recognized.

It begins with the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with His death -- we give over our lives to death. Since this happens at the beginning of the Christian life, the cross can never be merely a tragic ending to an otherwise happy religious life. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time -- death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at His call. That is why the rich young man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessarily our death and our life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Precedents are dangerous things; let the rein of government then be braced and held with a steady hand ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Precedents are dangerous things; let the rein of government then be braced and held with a steady hand]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can read this, thank a teacher. -Anonymous teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13541]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can read this, thank a teacher. -Anonymous teacher.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13804]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism have brought me to my ideas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have found you an argument; but I am not obliged to find you an understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3055]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have found you an argument; but I am not obliged to find you an understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a very surprising turn of events. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33706]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a very surprising turn of events.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3605]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby "it."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My doctrine is not a doctrine but just a vision.
