He allowed himself (God allowed him) to be accounted sin by the Law. He refused to do what orthodox Jews of his day thought God had commanded them to do, (i.e.) seek to gain credit with God by keeping the Law. He lived by faith, not Law, and therefore repudiated the Law and the path of self-justification.... He stripped himself even of that claim to moral goodness which would have distinguished him from sinners. Short of becoming a sinner (and Paul shows that this idea is repudiated), how could God come closer to us sinners?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every dogma, every philosophic or theological creed, was at its inception a statement in terms of the intellect of a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every dogma, every philosophic or theological creed, was at its inception a statement in terms of the intellect of a certain inner experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man shapes himself through decision that shape his environment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man shapes himself through decision that shape his environment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who knows a strange fact shares in its singularity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who should teach men to die, would at the same time teach them to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14401]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who should teach men to die, would at the same time teach them to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66753]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you.

He is somewhere in the recesses of our soul, in the springs of our existence, a light in that mysterious region of our nature where the wishes, feelings, thoughts, and emotions take their earliest rise.

It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16843]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust on and think To-morrow will repay; To-morrow's falser than the former day;  Lies worse; and while it says, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust on and think To-morrow will repay; To-morrow's falser than the former day;  Lies worse; and while it says, we shall be blest   With some new Joys, cuts off what we possest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first principle of ethical power is Purpose...

You may split it into different parts if you'd like - right now I'll put it as Unsorted. And He feels so incredibly weak when he has ferociously quarreled against them since his genuine years and has lost. His hopes for a better understanding dissipate as he grows older, and his mind grows less eager to reach a verdict. Having no sense of direction, he roams here, looking above, asking futile questions, even though the answers may be feared. Good by nature, he has learned his survival skills, which will lead him into the real world, and will someday make him a successful individual. Wishing the pressure did not exist, it is a natural instinct to adapt and not to recluse. He rather is a mindless drone than a lonely Hermit, after all. He has no control over his environment, it is the exact opposite. Molded and shaped by his surroundings, he seeks about for himself and his purpose, while this mold slowly deteriorates organic matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no whaler and no whale biologist, no matter how experienced, who is so jaded that his heart does ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23117]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no whaler and no whale biologist, no matter how experienced, who is so jaded that his heart does not race at the sight of a blue whale. •Dale Rice   Nothing excites jaded grandmasters more than a theoretical novelty •Dominic Lawson   I used to be a hopeless romantic -- I fell in love with everyone I went out with.
