The stroke that came transmitted through a whole galaxy of elastic balls, was it less a stroke than if the last ball only had been struck, and sent flying? Oh, could I transport thee direct from the Beginnings to the Endings, how were thy eyesight unsealed, and thy heart set flaming in the Light-sea of celestial wonder! Then sawest thou that this fair Universe, were it in the meanest province thereof, is in very deed the star-domed City of God; that through every star, through every grass-blade, and most through every Living Soul, the glory of a present God still beams. But Nature, which is the Time-vesture of God and reveals Him to the wise, hides Him from the foolish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Job answered and said, No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61745]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Job answered and said, No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In addition to the economic impact dollar figure, of particular interest to us was that the All-Star Game and related ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40411]]></link><description><![CDATA[In addition to the economic impact dollar figure, of particular interest to us was that the All-Star Game and related events generated nearly 20,000 hotel room nights, with an average lodging expense of $403 per group.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm very happy today and back in the right spot.

It begins with the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with His death -- we give over our lives to death. Since this happens at the beginning of the Christian life, the cross can never be merely a tragic ending to an otherwise happy religious life. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world. But it is the same death every time -- death in Jesus Christ, the death of the old man at His call. That is why the rich young man was so loath to follow Jesus, for the cost of his following was the death of his will. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts. But we do not want to die, and therefore Jesus Christ and His call are necessarily our death and our life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace.
