Many honest Christian people experience the shock of a revelation when they are brought to realize that their membership of the Church constitutes a loyalty prior to their loyalty to the nation to which they belong. Patriotism is one of the powerful underground pseudo-religions of to-day, not merely nationalism. The fundamental notion that the Christians are a "peculiar people" that never is identical, or even can be, with a people in the biological, national sense of the word, is largely asleep. It can only become awake by a new grasp of the biblical truth that the Church is the "people of God", an elect race composed of people out of all nations, transcending all nations and races.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A noble soul alone can noble souls attract; And knows alone, as ye, to hold them.  [Ger., Ein edler ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44575]]></link><description><![CDATA[A noble soul alone can noble souls attract; And knows alone, as ye, to hold them.  [Ger., Ein edler Mensch zieht edle Menschen an,   Und weiss sie fest zu halten, wie ihr thut.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11374]]></link><description><![CDATA[When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that's foolish in the fault, let him be wise in the punishment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49415]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that's foolish in the fault, let him be wise in the punishment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was happy that right away we played Tennessee, I was happy that we played Oklahoma right off the top. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41474]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was happy that right away we played Tennessee, I was happy that we played Oklahoma right off the top.

"That must be something very terrible and awful. That certainly must rend and tear the life to which God comes. At least, it will separate it and make it unnatural and strange. God fills a bush with His glory and it burns. God enters into the great mountain, and it rocks with earthquake. When he comes to occupy a man, He must distort the humanity which He occupies into some inhuman shape." Instead of that, this new life into which God comes, seems to be the most quietly, naturally human life that was ever seen upon the earth. It glides into its place like sunlight. It seems to make it evident that God and man are essentially so near together, that the meeting of their natures in the life of a God-man is not strange. So always does Christ deal with His own nature, accepting His Divinity as you and I accept our humanity, and letting it shine out through the envelope with which it has most subtly and mysteriously mingled, as the soul is mingled with and shines out through the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morale is faith in the man at the top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22546]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morale is faith in the man at the top.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kind of power mothers have is enormous.

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[formation of a fully represented, broad-based government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28280]]></link><description><![CDATA[formation of a fully represented, broad-based government.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charm is a glow within a woman that casts a most becoming light on others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charm is a glow within a woman that casts a most becoming light on others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think they can do better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37944]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think they can do better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My illusions range from romance to rowdiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32273]]></link><description><![CDATA[My illusions range from romance to rowdiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One good act of vengeance deserves another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44220]]></link><description><![CDATA[One good act of vengeance deserves another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I find a film dull, I find it infinitely more entertaining to watch the scratches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43356]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I find a film dull, I find it infinitely more entertaining to watch the scratches.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66040]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you know what you are going to write when you're writing a poem, it's going to be average ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62427]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you know what you are going to write when you're writing a poem, it's going to be average]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have been happy, madame, adds to calamity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18631]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have been happy, madame, adds to calamity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None but an author knows an author's cares, Or Fancy's fondness for the child she bears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3526]]></link><description><![CDATA[None but an author knows an author's cares, Or Fancy's fondness for the child she bears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The infant, on opening his eyes, ought to see his country, and to the hour of his death never lose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25966]]></link><description><![CDATA[The infant, on opening his eyes, ought to see his country, and to the hour of his death never lose sight of it. [Fr., Un enfant en ouvrant ses yeux doit voir la patrie, et jusqu'a la mort ne voir qu'elle.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66266]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conversation is an art in which man has all mankind for competitors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10111]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conversation is an art in which man has all mankind for competitors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9570]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries.
