When summarized in a few neat words or phrases, these gems of wisdom become substitutes for thought, and gradually take on much of the status of revealed truth. Occasionally, some iconoclast sees fit to challenge one of them, and a brief flurry ensues, after which things go on about as before. It is easy to think of plenty of ideas that are passing, if they have not already passed, beyond the stage of effective discussion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man-like is it to fall into sin, Fiend-like is it to dwell therein,  Christ-like is it for sin to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56384]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man-like is it to fall into sin, Fiend-like is it to dwell therein,  Christ-like is it for sin to grieve,   God-like is it all sin to leave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's important to come prepared.

If they clamor for freedom, it is but freedom to establish equality and uniformity.

In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't play better than that, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40199]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't play better than that,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is a foole that makes a wedge of his fist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49315]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is a foole that makes a wedge of his fist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to really get the word out to the industry to make sure they know what the opportunities are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32951]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to really get the word out to the industry to make sure they know what the opportunities are here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and 8 times out of 9 I'll ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and 8 times out of 9 I'll show you a man with detestable spiritual qualities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All covet, all lose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49099]]></link><description><![CDATA[All covet, all lose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  Christ became ever more and more painfully convinced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189  Christ became ever more and more painfully convinced that men did not know God. They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kindly words do not enter so deeply into men as a reputation for kindness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kindly words do not enter so deeply into men as a reputation for kindness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, play the man!

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A generous heart repairs a slanderous tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56543]]></link><description><![CDATA[A generous heart repairs a slanderous tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together and if you continue to use the labor of children as the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together and if you continue to use the labor of children as the treatment for the social disease of poverty, you will have both poverty and child labor to the end of time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't see much risk of a blow out in financial credit spreads any time soon.
