One would never say, however (to end once and for all the confusion of these names) "He has St. Vitus's dance," "He has nerve fever," "He has dropsy," "He has ague," since there simply are not any fixed, unchanging diseases to be known by such names.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you count all your assets, you always show a profit ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48340]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you count all your assets, you always show a profit]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a series on the church:  By God's grace we live in a time of rediscovery of the Church ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a series on the church:  By God's grace we live in a time of rediscovery of the Church and of the wholeness of the Church. We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need to speak to the Greens and the F.D.P. in the next few days.

A very ordinary thing acquires a new value, if it has been possessed by some famous person. In any museum we will find quite ordinary things--clothes, a walking-stick, a pen, pieces of furniture--which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person. It is the ownership which gives them worth. It is so with the Christian. The Christian may be a very ordinary person, but he acquires a new value and dignity and greatness because he belongs to God. The greatness of the Christian lies in the fact that he is God's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speak low if you speak love. -Much Ado about Nothing.

The wise said that God and the godlike could have no contact with suffering, but Jesus was no phantom feigning to be crucified; he truly suffered on the cross, he truly rose. Suffering is a language all can understand, and none can quite exhaust; and the suffering Christ, victorious over pain and death, meant for all who grasped his significance a new faith in God, a new freedom of mind in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Michael Jackson has an insatiable appetite for money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35927]]></link><description><![CDATA[Michael Jackson has an insatiable appetite for money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well?
