Again and again in the Pentateuch, the psalms, the prophets, and the subsequent writings which derive from them, the claim is made that the creator of the entire universe has chosen to live uniquely on a small ridge called Mount Zion, near the eastern edge of the Judean hill-country. The sheer absurdity of this claim, from the standpoint of any other worldview (not least that of Enlightenment philosophy), is staggering. The fact that Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Egypt again, Syria and now Rome had made explicit mockery of the idea did not shake this conviction, but only intensified it. This was what Jewish monotheism looked like on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether you're winning or losing, it is important to always be yourself.

They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship. Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know that there are any short cuts to doing a good job. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64115]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know that there are any short cuts to doing a good job.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57103]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no such thing as truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nonviolence is the greatest of all religions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nonviolence is the greatest of all religions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957  For the Platonic or Aristotelian philosophy it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6904]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957  For the Platonic or Aristotelian philosophy it is of no importance whether Plato or Aristotle ever lived. For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poor Peggy hawks nosegays from street to street Till--think of that who find life so sweet!--  She hates the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50172]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poor Peggy hawks nosegays from street to street Till--think of that who find life so sweet!--  She hates the smell of roses!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex with love is the greatest thing in life.
