Nonsense! It gives us no picture at all. It reveals to us a fact: it tells us what we really are; it says, This is the form in which God created you, to which He has restored you; this is the work which the Eternal Son, the God of Truth and Love, is continually carrying on within you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thought driven home is better than three left on base. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22665]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thought driven home is better than three left on base.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They just had that one inning.

Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman that is like a German clock, Still a-repairing, ever out of frame,  And never going aright, being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23267]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman that is like a German clock, Still a-repairing, ever out of frame,  And never going aright, being a watch,   But being watched that it may still go right!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[decided to desist from all sorts of resistance and to stop our actions against the Israelis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28616]]></link><description><![CDATA[decided to desist from all sorts of resistance and to stop our actions against the Israelis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  It is better, safer, truer language to speak of individual depravity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7151]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  It is better, safer, truer language to speak of individual depravity than of universal depravity. By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holding occasion by the hand, Not over nice 'twixt weed and flower,  Waiving what none can understand,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Holding occasion by the hand, Not over nice 'twixt weed and flower,  Waiving what none can understand,   I make mine hour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each one has to find his peace from within.

Whereas Jesus placed the penitent heart and the saving will of God higher than the pride of the godly and the letter of the Torah, so Paul preached faith in Christ as the only way to salvation and rejected striving after righteousness through the works of the Law. Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Swear, food, or starve; for the dilemma's even; A tradesman thou! and hope to go to heaven? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Swear, food, or starve; for the dilemma's even; A tradesman thou! and hope to go to heaven?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cellar Roots is not just for art and writing majors at EMU.

Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item></channel></rss>
