Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more annoying than a low man raised to a high position. [Lat., Asperius nihil est humil cum surgit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5521]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more annoying than a low man raised to a high position. [Lat., Asperius nihil est humil cum surgit in altum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money, the root of all evil...but the cure for all sadness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money, the root of all evil...but the cure for all sadness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I seem to boast more than is becoming, my excuse is that I brag for humanity rather than for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63583]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I seem to boast more than is becoming, my excuse is that I brag for humanity rather than for myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to have the same kind of thing people can see in a strip mall somewhere or in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39377]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're going to have the same kind of thing people can see in a strip mall somewhere or in a theme park.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord Stafford mines for coal and salt, The Duke of Norfolk deals in malt,  The Douglas in red herrings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5032]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord Stafford mines for coal and salt, The Duke of Norfolk deals in malt,  The Douglas in red herrings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are in the black theater of nonexistence.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A vacation is like love - anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort and remembered with nostalgia ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60306]]></link><description><![CDATA[A vacation is like love - anticipated with pleasure, experienced with discomfort and remembered with nostalgia]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment.
