And how absurd would it be that in satisfying men you should incur the displeasure of him for whose sake you obey men themselves! The Lord, therefore, is the King of Kings, who, when he has opened his sacred mouth, must alone be heard, before all and above all men; next to him we are subject to those men who are in authority over us, but only in him.

Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to believe in a religion that places such a high premium on chastity and virginity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5785]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to believe in a religion that places such a high premium on chastity and virginity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I worked on whatever I have to on whatever team in practice.

All pious persons should study to fortify themselves with these counsels, lest, while they consider themselves as valiant and strenuous defenders of righteousness, they depart from the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the only Kingdom of righteousness. For since it is the will of God that the communion of his church should be maintained in this external society, those who, from an aversion of wicked men, destroy the token of that society, enter on a course in which they are in great danger of falling from the communion of the saints.   .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7575</guid></item></channel></rss>
