But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are born into the world of nature; our second birth is into theworld of spirit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22769]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are born into the world of nature; our second birth is into theworld of spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we call evil is simply ignorance bumping its head in the dark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14308]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we call evil is simply ignorance bumping its head in the dark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've gone through years where we've had really good teams at the top, but I'm not sure we've had a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32545]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've gone through years where we've had really good teams at the top, but I'm not sure we've had a balance of six teams like this year.

Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/245]]></link><description><![CDATA[An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4078]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your belief in God is merely an escape from your monotonous, stupid and cruel life]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19743]]></link><description><![CDATA[May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human enough hope to make you happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You might point out to Howard Davies that he could get no better grounding in the game of hurling than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39814]]></link><description><![CDATA[You might point out to Howard Davies that he could get no better grounding in the game of hurling than to check out the Offaly Senior Hurling Championship Q/F featuring Birr against Lusmagh next Saturday evening, with the 'throw-in' at 4:30pm in Banagher.
