Quite frankly, I've never experienced writing like this before, except for 'Fences,' something that addresses me as an individual, addresses me as a black man and addresses the history of the African-American culture and the African-American experience in this country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you so love the truth and the right that you welcome, or at least submit willingly to, the idea ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you so love the truth and the right that you welcome, or at least submit willingly to, the idea of an exposure of what in you is yet unknown to yourself -- an exposure that may redound to the glory of the truth by making you ashamed and humbled?... Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The neer to the church, the further from God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The neer to the church, the further from God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60612]]></link><description><![CDATA[I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never make a defense or apology before you are accused. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never make a defense or apology before you are accused.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great albatross!--the meanest birds Spring up and flit away,  While thou must toil to gain a flight,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great albatross!--the meanest birds Spring up and flit away,  While thou must toil to gain a flight,   And spread those pinions grey;    But when they once are fairly poised,     Far o'er each chirping thing      Thou sailest wide to other lands,       E'en sleeping on the wing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Adam's fall-- We sinned all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56390]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Adam's fall-- We sinned all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never Explain - your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway. -Elbert Hubbard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never Explain - your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway. -Elbert Hubbard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our power is in our ability to decide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our power is in our ability to decide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea was to show that if his privacy wasn't safe, none of ours were, and it clearly proved the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38658]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea was to show that if his privacy wasn't safe, none of ours were, and it clearly proved the point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good news, worthy of all acceptation, and yet not too good to be true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44457]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good news, worthy of all acceptation, and yet not too good to be true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.

What ought to result from it? What is the point and peak and heart and centre of it? Is it the offering we bring to God of praise and adoration, of thanksgiving and sacrifice, our praise, our sacrifice to Him? That has its place, not legitimate only, but imperative. And yet to put that in the foreground is to make the service fundamentally man-centered and subjective, which, face to face with God, is surely almost unthinkably unseemly. Or is the ideal we should hold before us that other extreme, so ardently pressed on us these days, that, face to face with the Lord God Almighty, High and Holy, it is for us to forget ourselves and -- leaving behind our petty little human joys and needs and sins and risings above thanksgiving and petition and confession -- to lose ourselves in an awed adoration of God's naked and essential being, blessing and praising Him, not even for what he has done for us, and been for us, but for what, in Himself, He is. To me, that seems not an advance, but a pathetic throw-back to the primitive of Brahmanism. We shall not learn to know God better, nor how to worship Him more worthily, by careful rubbing out from memory every wonder of Christ's revelation of Him.
