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[As hard as modern man strives to be free he is a slave chained to the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47579]]></link><description><![CDATA[As hard as modern man strives to be free he is a slave chained to the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I keep seeing them go up, up, up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30976]]></link><description><![CDATA[I keep seeing them go up, up, up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52548]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common-sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8010]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common-sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why comes temptation but for man to meet And master and make crouch beneath his foot,  And so be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why comes temptation but for man to meet And master and make crouch beneath his foot,  And so be pedestaled in triumph?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never explain -- your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never explain -- your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the hell?

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/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am declaring a state of emergency because of the clear threat to the nation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35872]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am declaring a state of emergency because of the clear threat to the nation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24413]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Expressing anger is a form of public littering. -Willard Gaylin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2610]]></link><description><![CDATA[Expressing anger is a form of public littering. -Willard Gaylin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men have reaching hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men have reaching hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Building is a sweet impoverishing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Building is a sweet impoverishing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes all sorts of people to make the underworld. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10685]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes all sorts of people to make the underworld.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This category is fraught with issues as to whether publishers can even say go ahead and use them because they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28963]]></link><description><![CDATA[This category is fraught with issues as to whether publishers can even say go ahead and use them because they may not have the rights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.
