In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience and shuffle the cards. [Sp., Paciencia y barajar.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience and shuffle the cards. [Sp., Paciencia y barajar.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say, best men are moulded out of faults. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51397]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say, best men are moulded out of faults.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No flying machine will ever fly from New York to Paris. -- Orville Wright. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15205]]></link><description><![CDATA[No flying machine will ever fly from New York to Paris. -- Orville Wright.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christian Unity is not a secular unity, and must be prompted by no secular motive.

The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although, I am proud of all my Symphonies as they all have something special to say, my particular favourite is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although, I am proud of all my Symphonies as they all have something special to say, my particular favourite is the Fifth.
