He taught that God, as the great feudal superior of the universe, allotted to all earthly authorities their rule in fief as subject to Himself. The priesthood was not an office of dominion, but of service, and its prerogatives ceased when service was not rendered. Dominion was not granted to one person as God's Vicar on earth, but the King was as much God's Vicar as the Pope; nay, every Christian held his rights immediately of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Circumstances beyond my individual control. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Circumstances beyond my individual control.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They earned the respect of North American players.

In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trying is a part of failing.
