Without realizing it, he makes society rather than himself the agent of change. The power he finds in his victimization may lead him to collective action against society, but it also encourages passivity within the sphere of his personal life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,  Signifying nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51386]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,  Signifying nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564   To pious and peaceable persons [Augustine] gives this advice: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564   To pious and peaceable persons [Augustine] gives this advice: that they should correct in mercy whatever they can; that what they cannot, they should patiently bear, and affectionately lament, till God either reform and correct it, or, at the harvest, root up the tares and sift out the chaff. All pious persons should study to fortify themselves with these counsels, lest, while they consider themselves as valiant and strenuous defenders of righteousness, they depart from the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the only Kingdom of righteousness. For since it is the will of God that the communion of his church should be maintained in this external society, those who, from an aversion of wicked men, destroy the token of that society, enter on a course in which they are in great danger of falling from the communion of the saints.   .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are a furry gnome and we feed you too much!

The first three gifts of the Spirit which God had set in the Church were apostles, prophets, and teachers, in addition to which the whole Church had a gift of government (I Cor. 12:4, 28). The decisions of the first council of the Church were first of all decrees of the Spirit (Acts 15:28). Paul had preached and created churches by the power of the Spirit (I Cor. 2:4; 1 Thess. 1:5,6; Gal. 3:2). In one Spirit were all believers baptized into one body (I Cor. 12:13: cf. Phil. 1:27). The Spirit therefore dwells in the Church as the principle of its entire united and common life (Eph. 2:18, 22; cf. I Cor. 3:16).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After a long product portfolio transition, we forecast that Bristol-Myers could return to a period of sustained high teens earnings ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31186]]></link><description><![CDATA[After a long product portfolio transition, we forecast that Bristol-Myers could return to a period of sustained high teens earnings per share growth in 2007-2010.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable.

Now, once again may I ask you the question, Is the Church cruel when she points this out, and demands that men should see it and take account of it in all the arrangements of this life? Surely the cruelty lies with those who talk glibly about the brotherhood of man, and superficially about peace, and romantically about marriage, as though the disturbances in Church and state and family were introduced into human life by a few evil-minded men. This is the real cruelty. How will you face up later to your married life, to your administration of affairs, to your life in the Church, in fact to any real part of your lives, if you are taught to think that your neighbour will or ought to agree with you in all points, will accept your solutions of his problems, will in fact be a reflection of your image? Once we get this stuff and nonsense into our heads, we shall never be able to live with anyone or with any group of men. We shall sulk when we are crossed, or run away from the Other -- for Other they are. We shall certainly remove ourselves from the Church when we find it full of friction and yet proclaiming the love of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wrong way is to open a Linux company that acts as a wall between the developer and the user, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40466]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wrong way is to open a Linux company that acts as a wall between the developer and the user,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He will do whatever is required by those people (at the alcohol treatment facility).
