Redemption is inconceivable without truth and holiness. But the mere fact that the Holy Spirit's first recorded action in the gospels is an expression of redeeming love should cause us to suspect a teaching which represents His work as primarily, if not solely, the sanctification of our own souls to the practical exclusion of His activity in us towards others. It is important to teach of Him as the Spirit of holiness; it is also important to teach of Him as the Spirit which in us labours for the salvation of men everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All my possessions for a moment of time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15226]]></link><description><![CDATA[All my possessions for a moment of time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1916]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They can only spend about 20 or 30 minutes before they run into pockets of carbon monoxide.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  To love another as oneself is only the halfway house to Heaven, though it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  To love another as oneself is only the halfway house to Heaven, though it seems as far as it was prudent to bid man go. The "greater love than this" of which our Lord speaks, though He does not command it, is to give oneself for one's friends. And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us. The easy renunciation of self for the Beloved becomes the very breath of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loyal and efficient work in a great cause, even though it may not be immediately recognized, ultimately bears fruit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loyal and efficient work in a great cause, even though it may not be immediately recognized, ultimately bears fruit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything flows; nothing remains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything flows; nothing remains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each epoch has found in the Gospels what it sought to find there, and has overlooked what it wished to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each epoch has found in the Gospels what it sought to find there, and has overlooked what it wished to overlook.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as towhat those events mean. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21408]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as towhat those events mean.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world  But for supporting robbers--shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4911]]></link><description><![CDATA[What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world  But for supporting robbers--shall we now   Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,    And sell the mighty space of our large honors     For so much trash as may be grasped thus?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness.
