And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even a band of angels can turn ugly and start looting if enough angels are unemployed and hanging around the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even a band of angels can turn ugly and start looting if enough angels are unemployed and hanging around the Pearly Gates convinced that all the succubi own all the liquor stores in Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must live the way one thinks or end up thinking the way one has lived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59181]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must live the way one thinks or end up thinking the way one has lived.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't have any attacks, it's easy to let the program slip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38966]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't have any attacks, it's easy to let the program slip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . what is human and the same about the males and females classified as Homo sapiens is much ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27020]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . what is human and the same about the males and females classified as Homo sapiens is much greater than the differences.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The actual fact is that in this day Opportunity not only knocks at your door but is playing an anvil ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45076]]></link><description><![CDATA[The actual fact is that in this day Opportunity not only knocks at your door but is playing an anvil chorus on every man's door, and then lays for the owner around the corner with a club.

Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even at low speeds, trains with that much weight can take as much as a half-mile to stop. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even at low speeds, trains with that much weight can take as much as a half-mile to stop.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, really, this appears the common case Of putting too much Sabbath into Sunday--  But what is your opinion, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, really, this appears the common case Of putting too much Sabbath into Sunday--  But what is your opinion, Mrs. Grundy?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We remain focused on our primary goal of returning Apple to sustainable profitability, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35146]]></link><description><![CDATA[We remain focused on our primary goal of returning Apple to sustainable profitability,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If automobiles had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3544]]></link><description><![CDATA[If automobiles had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bitterness of poor quality remains long after low pricing is forgotten! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21531]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bitterness of poor quality remains long after low pricing is forgotten!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. -Troilus and Cressida.
