This faith, once given, proved to be -- like the Person who gave rise to it -- essentially self-authenticating. And ever since, the Church has looked to the Cross, a symbol of weakness, as its unique source of power in preaching the Gospel, its authority both to teach and to preach has been of this kind. No amount of liaison between the Church and the source of any other authority, political or moral, must be allowed to obscure the simplicity -- and the mystery -- of the authority of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters: These see the works of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56164]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters: These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reasoning of the strongest is always the best. [Fr., La raison du plus fort est toujours la meilleure.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53097]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reasoning of the strongest is always the best. [Fr., La raison du plus fort est toujours la meilleure.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is not in our circumstance but in ourselves.

The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63749]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who then is sane?

For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible to persuade a man who does not disagree, but smiles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66450]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is impossible to persuade a man who does not disagree, but smiles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of human life and the sense of happiness is to give the maximum what the man is able ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28834]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of human life and the sense of happiness is to give the maximum what the man is able to give.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The zebra fish is ideal because you can freeze the entire fish.
