The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one has a gift for something, even if it is the gift of being a good friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one has a gift for something, even if it is the gift of being a good friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that stand high have many blasts to shake them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51511]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that stand high have many blasts to shake them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Beginning of Philosophy . . . is a Consciousness of your own Weakness and inability in necessary things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46489]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Beginning of Philosophy . . . is a Consciousness of your own Weakness and inability in necessary things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disease is a physical process that generally begins that equality which death completes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Disease is a physical process that generally begins that equality which death completes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Lauding the efforts of] people made by RSS ... when we reflect at BJP today as a building, these people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40872]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Lauding the efforts of] people made by RSS ... when we reflect at BJP today as a building, these people are the foundation stones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, man, defy the devil?

There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea is to die young as late as possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11183]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea is to die young as late as possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even in a day of overdone distinctions, one might point out that interpretations are not properly to be classified as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even in a day of overdone distinctions, one might point out that interpretations are not properly to be classified as historical or dogmatic, but as true or false.

We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him. When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person; it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive. It is so with Christ. In this world our contact with Him is shadowy, for we can only see through a glass darkly. It is spasmodic, for we are poor creatures and cannot live always on the heights. But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had them lay on the ground until the sheriff's department got there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38672]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had them lay on the ground until the sheriff's department got there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[it is much safer to obey than to rule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24483]]></link><description><![CDATA[it is much safer to obey than to rule.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shall never want rope enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51062]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shall never want rope enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51062</guid></item></channel></rss>
