They were insane -- not in a clinical sense, but in the madness of the Holy, an insanity which ordinary sanity refuses to admit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sonne full and tattered, the daughter empty and fine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49916]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sonne full and tattered, the daughter empty and fine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no talks going on, and CNN is not for sale.

Theday being intensely hot, and the sun shining in its strength, theTraveler stopped to rest, and sought shelter from the heat underthe Shadow of the Ass. As this afforded only protection for one,and as the Traveler and the owner of the Ass both claimed it, aviolent dispute arose between them as to which of them had theright to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let theAss only, and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had,with the hire of the Ass, hired his Shadow also. The quarrelproceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the Assgalloped off. In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm in.

Is it a total contradiction of it? Is it some sort of a reflection of it? or perhaps a devil's parody of it? Or has it nothing to do with it at all? Perhaps there will be many Christians to whom it would not occur to pose the question whether the process of secularization has anything to do with the biblical understanding of the goal of history. The Bible, for them, belongs to a religious world which is not admitted to belong to the world of secular events -- the world in which we are when we read the daily newspaper. But this is to read the Bible wrongly. Whatever else it may be, the Bible is a secular book dealing with the sort of events which a news editor accepts for publication in a daily newspaper; it is concerned with secular events, wars, revolutions, enslavements and liberations, migrants and refugees, famines and epidemics and all the rest. It deals with events which happened and tells a story which can be checked. We miss this because we do not sufficiently treat the Bible as a whole. When we do this, we see at once that the Bible -- whatever be the variety of material which it contains: poetry, prayers, legislation, genealogy, and all the rest -- is in its main design a universal history. It is an interpretation of human history as a whole, beginning with the saga of creation and ending with a vision of the gathering together of all the nations and the consummation of God's purpose for mankind. The Bible is an outline of world history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is like a hot bath.
