And what He does is to come to each soul partaking in the Sacrament and to assure it that He stands to the best and biggest of His promises and to the fullness of His grace in Christ... de-universalizes the Scriptures and individualizes them, makes them a personal promise, couched no longer in general terms but offered to very you and very me, as individually as if they covered no other but referred to you and me alone. We may be cold and dead and unresponsive. None the less, something happens in the Sacrament. For God stands to His side of the Covenant, whether we stand to ours or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The impression somehow prevails that the true believer, particularly the religious individual, is a humble person.

On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that we are is the result of what we have thought. -Buddha. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22814]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that we are is the result of what we have thought. -Buddha.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No laborer in the world is expected to work for room, board, and love--except the housewife. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19899]]></link><description><![CDATA[No laborer in the world is expected to work for room, board, and love--except the housewife.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But even the Christian, for all this satisfying and hopeful conviction, does not know the meaning of the mystery of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7952]]></link><description><![CDATA[But even the Christian, for all this satisfying and hopeful conviction, does not know the meaning of the mystery of life, and if he is wise he does not pretend to. He has enough light to light him on his way, but there are a great many gaps in his knowledge. When he says, "One day we shall understand", he is by no means always uttering a pious platitude. Quite frequently he is voicing a solid conviction, a genuine facet of hope. At present his vision is severely limited, and that is probably just as well, if his sanity is to be preserved. But when he is free of the limitations of temporal life, he has every hope of being able to know as surely as he is at present known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wife encourages her husband's egoism in order to encourage her own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22533]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wife encourages her husband's egoism in order to encourage her own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diplomacy is to do and say the nastiest things in the nicest way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diplomacy is to do and say the nastiest things in the nicest way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4076]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14542]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I could remember the names of all these particles, I'd be a botanist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon.
