Not by making vast claims for himself, though such claims were implicit. His authority seemed to reside in what he was and what he did rather than in what he specifically claimed to be. Especially in Mark's Gospel there is an elusive quality about his authority, the mystery of the hidden Messiah. His authority was at the same time most deeply hidden and most clearly expressed by his servanthood... The more the Church in its life shows forth the character of the Servant, the more will its teaching bear the marks of the authority of the Servant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, who cries out on pride That can therein tax any private party?  Doth it not flow as hugely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, who cries out on pride That can therein tax any private party?  Doth it not flow as hugely as the sea   Till that the weary very means do ebb?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We defend ourself with descriptions and tame the world by generalizing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24082]]></link><description><![CDATA[We defend ourself with descriptions and tame the world by generalizing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parents who are afraid to put their foot down usually have children who step on their toes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parents who are afraid to put their foot down usually have children who step on their toes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract.

Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every eight minutes, someone has sex with an animal...and you wonder why the attack you.
