It is God's plan, God's activity; but because God became man and took up manhood into Himself, it is God's will embodied in active obedience on the part of the Christian individual, the Christian group within the Church, and the Christian Church as a whole -- we are all involved in it, all of us, in our various callings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The commonest form, one of the most often neglected, and the safest opportunity for the average man to seize, is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45114]]></link><description><![CDATA[The commonest form, one of the most often neglected, and the safest opportunity for the average man to seize, is hard work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Studying literature at Harvard is like learning about women at the Mayo clinic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1281]]></link><description><![CDATA[Studying literature at Harvard is like learning about women at the Mayo clinic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4187]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the exception of the instinct of self-preservation, the propensity for emulation is probably the strongest and most alert and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43260]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the exception of the instinct of self-preservation, the propensity for emulation is probably the strongest and most alert and persistent of the economic motives proper]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man on the dubious waves of error toss'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man on the dubious waves of error toss'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20945]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pentecost  The Spirit is Love expressed towards man as redeeming love, and the Spirit is truth, and the Spirit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pentecost  The Spirit is Love expressed towards man as redeeming love, and the Spirit is truth, and the Spirit is the Holy Spirit. Redemption is inconceivable without truth and holiness. But the mere fact that the Holy Spirit's first recorded action in the gospels is an expression of redeeming love should cause us to suspect a teaching which represents His work as primarily, if not solely, the sanctification of our own souls to the practical exclusion of His activity in us towards others. It is important to teach of Him as the Spirit of holiness; it is also important to teach of Him as the Spirit which in us labours for the salvation of men everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statisticians probably do it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Statisticians probably do it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30322]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my heart led ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43239]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my heart led me to and wondering what life had been like if I'd just been myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A consensus means that everyone agrees to say collectively what no one believes individually. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65729]]></link><description><![CDATA[A consensus means that everyone agrees to say collectively what no one believes individually.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we'd save a lot of money by hiring our own engineer.
