And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have found (to my regret) that the degrees of shame and disgust which I actually feel at my own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8523]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have found (to my regret) that the degrees of shame and disgust which I actually feel at my own sins do not at all correspond to what my reason tells me about their comparative gravity. Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust; hatred alone is inmortal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust; hatred alone is inmortal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change means that what was before wasn't perfect.

And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Propaganda replaces moral philosophy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Propaganda replaces moral philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is quite true that the Greek word ekklesia comes from two roots which mean literally "called out."

Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603   [He said:] that our sanctification did not depend upon our changing our works, but upon our doing that for God' s sake which commonly we do for our own; that it was lamentable to see how many people mistook the means for the end, addicting themselves to certain works, which they performed very imperfectly, by reason of their human or selfish regards.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hearts of oak are are ships, Hearts of oak are our men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hearts of oak are are ships, Hearts of oak are our men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teaching is the greatest act of optimism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talent is a question of quantity.

Later the boy came up and offered to give me the toy. This was too much! I reached out my hand, but then he ran away. I chased him down and took the enema bag.

The pride of spiritual gifts had led the Corinthians to jealousy and strife. They had divided into factions owning the leadership, one of Paul, one of Apollos, another of Cephas, and another of Christ -- but such factions, the apostle tells them, were not characteristics of the "spiritual", but of the carnal. To divide the Church was to destroy the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwelt among them (I Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). And the very gifts about which they quarreled should have been a power to unite them, for they all proceeded from one and the same Spirit, from one and the same Lord, from one and the same God, who worketh all in all. The Spirit was indeed the principle of unity in the Church, "for in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13). Therefore, to divide the Church was to drive away the Spirit... The tests of spiritual phenomena in the life of the community, and the proofs that they were of the Holy Spirit, were unity, order, and edification.
