It seems hard to realize that that is so, but so it is. If your theology does not make you more loving, it has not Christianized you and to that extent is not a Christian theology... All ecclesiasticism and all doctrinalizing are in order to form character, and the soul of character is love. Preach the truth in love, and for the development of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Journeys, like artists, are born and not made.

This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Antony of Egypt, Abbot, 356 Commemoration of Charles Gore, Bishop, Teacher, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Antony of Egypt, Abbot, 356 Commemoration of Charles Gore, Bishop, Teacher, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, 1932 Continuing a short series on Romans 8:   [Of vv. 11,17,23-25]   The counterpart of this withdrawal of Christ [the ascension] from the reach of the senses was the gift to the apostles of the Holy Spirit by whom Christ was made present to them in a new way. They now knew him no more by sight and after the flesh; they had His Spirit. And this "having" is both a real possession and a foretaste, an earnest of what is in store...   The Spirit assures us that we are heirs of a kingdom yet to be revealed (Rom. 8:17). The Spirit wars in us against the flesh (Gal. 5:17) and gives us assurance that even our mortal bodies shall be quickened (Rom. 8:11). Meanwhile the very mark of the Spirit's presence is that we groan waiting for our adoption (Rom. 8:23) and hoping for that which we do not yet see (Rom. 8:24,25).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Memory is the mother of all wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Memory is the mother of all wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems not to have been written.

Failure is a private funeral. •Rosalind Russell   My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure. •Abraham Lincoln   Success is never final and failure never fatal. It's courage that counts. •George R. Tilton   I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom. •George S. Patton   There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. •Barbara Ward   Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet. •German Proverb   A man may fail many times but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else. •J. Paul Getty   Failure is not fatal; victory is not success. •Tony Richardson   Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. •Louis Boone   Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. •Jim Rohn  There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. •Laurence J. Peter   If there exists no possibility of failure, then victory is meaningless. •Robert H. Schuller   Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor. •Truman Capote   There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient. •Sri Swami Sivananda   Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. •Joe Paterno   Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits. •Robert Louis Stevenson   Failures are like skinned knees -- painful, but superficial. •H. Ross Perot   I cannot give the formula for success, but I can give you the formula of failure -- which is try to please everybody. •Herbert B. Swope   Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street. •Zig Ziglar  A proud heart can survive a general failure because such a failure does not prick its pride.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14934</guid></item></channel></rss>
