It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think every woman is entitled to a middle husband she can forget. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27101]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think every woman is entitled to a middle husband she can forget.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Pistol:) And tidings do I bring and lucky joys And golden times and happy news of price.  (Falstaff:) I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44471]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Pistol:) And tidings do I bring and lucky joys And golden times and happy news of price.  (Falstaff:) I pray thee now, deliver them like a man of this world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nice guys finish last, but we get to sleep in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56636]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nice guys finish last, but we get to sleep in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hopefully this will get over there and, you know, maybe we can find him like we did Jill Carroll. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40947]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hopefully this will get over there and, you know, maybe we can find him like we did Jill Carroll.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the poor man mind his tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the poor man mind his tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the only rating that should matter to her because people are voting with their money, by betting that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39077]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the only rating that should matter to her because people are voting with their money, by betting that the peso will continue to climb because she would pursue her economic reforms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are what we repeatedly do.

The first three gifts of the Spirit which God had set in the Church were apostles, prophets, and teachers, in addition to which the whole Church had a gift of government (I Cor. 12:4, 28). The decisions of the first council of the Church were first of all decrees of the Spirit (Acts 15:28). Paul had preached and created churches by the power of the Spirit (I Cor. 2:4; 1 Thess. 1:5,6; Gal. 3:2). In one Spirit were all believers baptized into one body (I Cor. 12:13: cf. Phil. 1:27). The Spirit therefore dwells in the Church as the principle of its entire united and common life (Eph. 2:18, 22; cf. I Cor. 3:16).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our children's children will hear a good story. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our children's children will hear a good story.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We insist that the international community cannot depend on any country with weapons of mass destruction which has relations with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39080]]></link><description><![CDATA[We insist that the international community cannot depend on any country with weapons of mass destruction which has relations with terrorists, and which allows itself the luxury of not respecting the law and of defying the international community.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Citizenship is what makes a republic; monarchies can get along without it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Citizenship is what makes a republic; monarchies can get along without it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding on the back of the tiger ended up inside. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13658]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding on the back of the tiger ended up inside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a very surprising turn of events. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33706]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a very surprising turn of events.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas Eve The soft light from a stable door  Lies on the midnight lands; The wise men's star burns ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christmas Eve The soft light from a stable door  Lies on the midnight lands; The wise men's star burns evermore,  Over all the desert sands.
