But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349   Lord Jesu, I ask Thee, give unto me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349   Lord Jesu, I ask Thee, give unto me movement in Thy love without measure; desire without limit; longing without order; burning without discretion.

The masses teeming and happy -- common clay, if you like -- eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead. And then there are the others -- the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive.

He only seemed to inhabit a material body, and from the Greek word dokein ["to seem"], people who held this theory were known as Docetists. But if Christ's incarnation was unreal, His death and resurrection were also unreal; and the whole gospel message was thus evacuated of its truth and power: one unhappy legacy of this short-lived phase of Christian heresy remains to bedevil Christian witness to Muslims up to the present day. For when the Koran says of Jesus that "they did not kill Him, nor did they crucify Him, but they thought they did", we may infer that Muhammad was indebted for this idea to a Christian source tainted with Docetism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45525]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no way the UAW can reach an agreement with Delphi without GM coming to the table much more than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35590]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no way the UAW can reach an agreement with Delphi without GM coming to the table much more than they have so far.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19763]]></link><description><![CDATA[Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee; When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're in the minority.

And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica April 14, 1996  This was the fullness of time, when Christ Jesus did come, that the Messiah should come. It was so to the Jews, and it was so to the Gentiles too... Christ hath excommunicated no nation, no shire, no house, no man; He gives none of His ministers leave to say to any man, thou art not redeemed; He gives no wounded or afflicted conscience leave to say to itself, I am not redeemed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conductor, when you receive a fare, Punch in the presence of the passenjare.  A blue trip slip for an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conductor, when you receive a fare, Punch in the presence of the passenjare.  A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare,   A buff trip slip for a six-cent fare,    A pink trip slip for a three-cent fare,     Punch in the presence of the passenjare!      Punch, brothers! punch with care!       Punch in the presence of the passenjare!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People Some people are like wheelbarrows; useful only when pushed, and very easily upset.
