We seem here to have a paradox: that the reality of an event, which is not real in itself, arises from the other events which, likewise, in themselves are not real. But this only affirms what we must affirm: that direction is all. And only as we realize this do we live, for our own identity is dependent upon this principal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though by whim, envy, or resentment led, They damn those authors whom they never read. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though by whim, envy, or resentment led, They damn those authors whom they never read.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Associate with people in such a manner, that they weep for you when you die and long for you if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Associate with people in such a manner, that they weep for you when you die and long for you if you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century  Thanksgiving (U.S.)  Here [Mark11:27-33] they discerned a flaw, a heresy; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century  Thanksgiving (U.S.)  Here [Mark11:27-33] they discerned a flaw, a heresy; and they would force Him either to make a fatal claim, or else to moderate His pretensions at their bidding, which would promptly restore their lost influence and leadership.

"Follow me," "come unto me," and "ye will not come unto me," indicate sufficiently that what he offered to men was himself. He seeks to win men's acceptance of the truth that had come in him. His words and deeds served to indicate what manner of man he was and what kind of work he had come to do; and all the time it is a person addressing persons, seeking to gain their recognition of and their self-commitment to himself. He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world.
