It is only a side effect of His actual presence in our souls, and gives no sure indication of that presence in any case. For God Himself is above all apprehensions and ideas and sensations, however spiritual, that can ever be experienced by the spirit of man in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every age has its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every age has its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, what a dusty answer gets the soul when hot for certainties in this our life! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5457]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, what a dusty answer gets the soul when hot for certainties in this our life!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384  Christian men and women, old and young, should study well in the New ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384  Christian men and women, old and young, should study well in the New Testament, for it is of full authority, and open to understanding by simple men, as to the points that are most needful to salvation. Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who wants his wedding garments to suit him must allow plenty of time for the measure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48684]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who wants his wedding garments to suit him must allow plenty of time for the measure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first law for the historian is that he shall never dare utter an untruth.

They are what they always have been, the individual's problems -- the meaning of life and death, the mastery of self, the quest for value and worth-whileness and freedom within, the transcending of loneliness, the longing for love and a sense of significance, and for peace. Society's problems are deep, but the individual's problems go deeper; Solzhenitsyn, Dostoyevsky, or Shakespeare will show us that, if we hesitate to take it from the Bible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Telling someone the truth is a loving act. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21860]]></link><description><![CDATA[Telling someone the truth is a loving act.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit is the lowest form of humor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit is the lowest form of humor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Communism possesses a language which every people can understand - its elements are hunger, envy, and death ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Communism possesses a language which every people can understand - its elements are hunger, envy, and death]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Cloten:) Thou villain base, Know'st me not by my clothes?  (Guiderius:) No, nor thy tailor, rascal,   Who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2757]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Cloten:) Thou villain base, Know'st me not by my clothes?  (Guiderius:) No, nor thy tailor, rascal,   Who is thy grandfather.

Failure on this part should mean failure on the whole exam. It is absolutely disgraceful that we expect missionaries to the Bantus to learn Bantu, but never ask whether our missionaries to the Americans or English can speak American or English. Any fool can write learned language: the vernacular is the real test. If you can't turn your faith into it, then either you don't understand it or you don't believe it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're trying to build an event that obviously has the entertainment, but also build an outdoor festival flair where there's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39029]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're trying to build an event that obviously has the entertainment, but also build an outdoor festival flair where there's lots of things for people to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Senate race, in particular, brings a lot to bear in terms of the campaigns' organization.
