It is in proportion, as we are known to him that we find our real being and identity in Christ. We know him in and through ourselves in so far as his truth is the source of our being and his merciful love is the very heart of our life and existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By persistently remaining single a man converts himself into a permanent public temptation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3646]]></link><description><![CDATA[By persistently remaining single a man converts himself into a permanent public temptation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were able to shoot the ball pretty well from the field.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith.
