In my view, that means to speak on the one hand metaphysically, and on the other individualistically. Neither of these is relevant to the Bible message or to the man of today. Is it not true to say that individualistic concern for personal salvation has almost completely left us all? Are we not really under the impression that there are more important things than bothering about such a matter? (Perhaps not more important than the matter itself, but more than bothering about it). I know it sounds pretty monstrous to say that. But is it not, at bottom, even Biblical?... It is not with the next world that we are concerned, but with this world as created and preserved and set subject to laws and atoned for and made new. What is above the world is, in the Gospel, intended to exist for this world -- I mean that not in the anthropocentric sense of liberal, pietistic, ethical theology, but in the Bible sense of the creation and of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He plaies well that winnes. [He plays well that wins.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49320]]></link><description><![CDATA[He plaies well that winnes. [He plays well that wins.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[China has no income tax, no unemployment and not a single soldier outside its borders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47358]]></link><description><![CDATA[China has no income tax, no unemployment and not a single soldier outside its borders.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination is the highest kite one can fly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination is the highest kite one can fly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is in the character if very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14035]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is in the character if very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We would often be ashamed of our finest actions if the world understood all the motives which produced them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43263]]></link><description><![CDATA[We would often be ashamed of our finest actions if the world understood all the motives which produced them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mountain was in labour, and Jove was afraid, but it brought forth a mouse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43317]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mountain was in labour, and Jove was afraid, but it brought forth a mouse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ethical person ought to do more than he's required to do and less than he's allowed to do ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43090]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ethical person ought to do more than he's required to do and less than he's allowed to do]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that is human must retrograde if it does not advance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56843]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that is human must retrograde if it does not advance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Public speaking is the art of diluting a two-minute idea with a two-hour vocabulary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Public speaking is the art of diluting a two-minute idea with a two-hour vocabulary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame is proof that people are gullible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fame is proof that people are gullible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we'd played three pretty good games in a row.
