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. If they command anything against him, let it go unesteemed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that unburied lies wants not his hearse, For unto him a tomb's the Universe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18211]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that unburied lies wants not his hearse, For unto him a tomb's the Universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God the first garden made, and the first city Cain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48926]]></link><description><![CDATA[God the first garden made, and the first city Cain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old John of Gaunt, time-honoured Lancaster. -King Richard II.

It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Address yourself to entertain them sprightly, And let's be red with mirth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Address yourself to entertain them sprightly, And let's be red with mirth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will be a challenge; he's very versatile.

Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find. I think of how they trod the earth, what time I scrub the floor: Accept this meditation, Lord, I haven't time for more. Warm all the kitchen with Thy love, and light it with Thy peace; Forgive me all my worrying, and make my grumbling cease.
