This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the Attack. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the Attack.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is worst of all is to advocate Christianity, not because it is true, but because it might prove useful... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8416]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is worst of all is to advocate Christianity, not because it is true, but because it might prove useful... To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Agriculture and Commerce ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Agriculture and Commerce]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first step toward change is awareness.

This is a synthesis of New Testament grace and Old Testament ethics. With this synthesis, Protestants have solved the problem of finding a gracious God, but they have not solved the problem of finding gracious neighbors. They can fellowship with God because he is gracious; but they find it difficult to fellowship with one another, because they are not so gracious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we don't change our direction we're likely to end up where we're headed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14113]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we don't change our direction we're likely to end up where we're headed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to have too much courtesy than too little, provided you are not equally courteous to all, for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10441]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to have too much courtesy than too little, provided you are not equally courteous to all, for that would be injustice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18020]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The players and parents really rallied around him this season. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36894]]></link><description><![CDATA[The players and parents really rallied around him this season.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The markets are breaking out of a trading range to the upside, ...

Not along this track lies the path of moral progress. Christianity says: face the evil once for all, and disown it. Then quiet the spirit in the presence of God. Let His perfections fill the field of vision. In particular, let the concrete embodiment of the goodness of God in Christ attract and absorb the gaze of the soul. Here is the righteousness, not as a fixed and abstract ideal, but in a living human person. The righteousness of Christ is a real achievement of God's own Spirit in man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it will be reduced; $28 billion is a bit much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42055]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it will be reduced; $28 billion is a bit much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  I love poverty because He loved it.

I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most dangerous moment comes with victory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60595]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most dangerous moment comes with victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can the believing husband in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving wife in Hell?
