Christianity has been trying to achieve a revolution by consciousness for two thousand years. Who would deny that Christian consciousness could have changed the world? Yet it was the world that changed Christian consciousness. If everybody adopted a peaceful, loving, generous, noncompetitive lifestyle, we could have something better than counter-culture -- we could have the Kingdom of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This has been the first real test since FEMA (U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency) was put under Homeland Security and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41516]]></link><description><![CDATA[This has been the first real test since FEMA (U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency) was put under Homeland Security and obviously it didn't work and I think they will want to reexamine how they respond to disasters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The past is where you learned the lesson... the future is where u apply the lesson.

The two ideas of Free-will and Divine Sovereignty can not be reconciled in our own minds, but that does not prevent them from being reconciled in God's mind. We measure Him by our own intellectual standard if we think otherwise. And so our solution of the problem of Free-will and of the problems of history and of individual salvation must finally lie in the full acceptance and realisation of what is implied by the infinity and the omniscience of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're an incredible live band. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38219]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're an incredible live band.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The welcome news is in the letter found; The carrier's not commission'd to expound;  It speaks itself, and what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47811]]></link><description><![CDATA[The welcome news is in the letter found; The carrier's not commission'd to expound;  It speaks itself, and what it does contain,   In all things needful to be known is plain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[F]ew things loves better Than to abhor himself-- . . . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15]]></link><description><![CDATA[[F]ew things loves better Than to abhor himself-- . . .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, after all, are the world's deepest problems?

They are what they always have been, the individual's problems -- the meaning of life and death, the mastery of self, the quest for value and worth-whileness and freedom within, the transcending of loneliness, the longing for love and a sense of significance, and for peace. Society's problems are deep, but the individual's problems go deeper; Solzhenitsyn, Dostoyevsky, or Shakespeare will show us that, if we hesitate to take it from the Bible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just try explaining the value of statistical summaries to the widow of the man who drowned crossing a stream with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just try explaining the value of statistical summaries to the widow of the man who drowned crossing a stream with an average depth of four feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a time and oft In the Rialto you have rated me. -The Merchant of Venice.

Had that been the case, it is not too bold to say that the new religion could not have conquered the Empire. It was because Christianity appealed direct to the people, addressed them in their own language, and made itself comprehensible to them on their own plane of thought, that it met the needs and filled the heart of the Roman world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He follows his father, but with shorter strides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51800]]></link><description><![CDATA[He follows his father, but with shorter strides.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accuse not nature, she hath done her part;Do thou but thine, and be not diffidentOf wisdom, she deserts thee not, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accuse not nature, she hath done her part;Do thou but thine, and be not diffidentOf wisdom, she deserts thee not, if thouDismiss not her, when most thou needest her nigh,By attributing overmuch to thingsLess excellent, as thou thyself perceivest. - Paradise Lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I've tried to tell them is that it's an acknowledgement of their hard work, but not to let it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31554]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I've tried to tell them is that it's an acknowledgement of their hard work, but not to let it go to their heads.
