They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the communities of the faithful, men had to impress upon themselves and upon others what Jesus said and did, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6195]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the communities of the faithful, men had to impress upon themselves and upon others what Jesus said and did, for the more convinced they were that he was neither a Jewish pretender nor an unsubstantial deity like one of the deities of the cults, the more urgent it was for them to recall that his words were the rule of their life, and that his actions in history had created their position in the world; they had to think out their faith, to state it against outside criticism, and to teach it within their own circle, instead of being content with it as a mere emotion; they had also to refresh their courage by anticipating the future, which they believed was in the hands of their Lord. The common basis of their life was the conviction that they enjoyed a new relationship with God, for which they were indebted to Jesus. The technical term for this relationship was "covenant", and "covenant" became eventually in their vocabulary "testament". Hence the later name for these writings of the church, when gathered into a sacred collection, was "The New Testament" -- New because the older relationship of God to his people, which had obtained under Judaism, with its Old Testament was superseded by the faith and fellowship which Jesus Christ his Son had inaugurated. It was the consciousness of this that inspired the early Christians to live, and to write about the origin and applications of this new life. They wrote for their own age, without a thought of posterity, and they did not write in unison but in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This airline is grateful for his extensive contributions and we will miss his friendship and support.

Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few realize how much injury the dogma that baptism is necessary for salvation, badly expounded, has entailed.
