Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687  The desire for certitude is natural enough and explains the human ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 687  The desire for certitude is natural enough and explains the human tendency to mistake faith for certainty. This is not a specially religious mistake. We think of supernaturalism when faith is mentioned, but the naturalistic description of the world also operates on assumptions that require a faith as robust as does the most soaring mysticism. The usual efforts to skirt faith beg all the questions there are. A psychiatrist, for instance, who points out to you that you believe in God the Father because you need a father, or that you became a missionary to expiate your guilt feelings, may be quite correct, but he has not touched on the prior question as to whether there is, in fact, a cosmic father figure who is the archetype of all other fathers, or whether there is an evangel worth spending your life promulgating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may be those who do most, dream most. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22120]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may be those who do most, dream most.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accident is the name of the greatest of all inventors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accident is the name of the greatest of all inventors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is there a man whose judgment clear Can others teach the course to steer,  Yet runs himself life's mad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48696]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is there a man whose judgment clear Can others teach the course to steer,  Yet runs himself life's mad career,   Wild as the wave?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fanatic is a man that does what he thinks the Lord would do if He knew the facts of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15267]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fanatic is a man that does what he thinks the Lord would do if He knew the facts of the case.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will not supply gas to the national grid until the government settles our bills. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30569]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will not supply gas to the national grid until the government settles our bills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We came out flat, with no intensity.

Simone Weil  August 18, 2000   My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.  ... C. J. Briejèr, letter to Rachel Carson August 19, 2000   The Christian cell in a factory or a professional circle, funding its own activities, deciding its own pattern of work, studying the Bible and perhaps celebrating the Lord's supper as an entity on its own, comes very much closer to Independency as Robert Browne saw it than the unholy isolationism of a prosperous suburban church, with 200 members who scarcely know each other by sight. If a sizable proportion of the Free Church ministry were enabled to become itinerant once again -- not necessarily itinerant in the geographical sense, but itinerant in the complex mazes of contemporary society, fathers in God to Christian organisms evolved by the lay men and women who spend their lives in these mazes -- new heart would be put into both ministry and laity, and incidentally, new impetus given to the search for Christian unity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's never enough time to do it right, but there's always enough time to do it over. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14585]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's never enough time to do it right, but there's always enough time to do it over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Political history is largely an account of mass violence and of the expenditure of vast resources to cope with mythical ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Political history is largely an account of mass violence and of the expenditure of vast resources to cope with mythical fears and hopes]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12981]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Constitution is not a panacea for every blot upon the public welfare, nor should this Court, ordained as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9907]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Constitution is not a panacea for every blot upon the public welfare, nor should this Court, ordained as a judicial body, be thought of as a general haven for reform movements.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think most historians will agree that the part played by impulses of selfish, individual aggression in the holocausts of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47194]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think most historians will agree that the part played by impulses of selfish, individual aggression in the holocausts of history was small; first and foremost, the slaughter was meant as an offering to the gods, to king and country, or the future happiness of mankind.
