Here is a bon mot and a useful desire, but equally absurd. For to make the handful bigger than the hand, the armful bigger then the arm, and to hope to stride further than the stretch of our legs, is impossible and monstrous. . . . He may lift himself if God lend him His hand of special grace; he may lift himself . . . by means wholly celestial. It is for our Christian religion, and not for his Stoic virtue, to pretend to this divine and miraculous metamorphosis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very rats Instinctively had quit it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51494]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very rats Instinctively had quit it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that steals an egge, will steal an oxe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49399]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that steals an egge, will steal an oxe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Saints & Martyrs of England   One of the most remarkable features of Mosaic legislation... is its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Saints & Martyrs of England   One of the most remarkable features of Mosaic legislation... is its humanity to man. It is the most humanitarian of all known bodies of laws before recent times. The laws about slavery, which envisage the liberation of Hebrew slaves after seven years, are a good example. But there are also laws protecting the poor: interest (always high in the ancient East) was prohibited, and again there was a moratorium after a term of years... Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Michael & All Angels    The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Michael & All Angels    The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals the seat of the malady, and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hans Grovendraad, an honest clown, By cobbling in his native town,  Had earned a living ever.   His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hans Grovendraad, an honest clown, By cobbling in his native town,  Had earned a living ever.   His work was strong and clean and fine,    And none who served at Crispin's shrine     Was at his trade more clever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miseries of which I was an eye witness and in which I took a chief part. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Miseries of which I was an eye witness and in which I took a chief part.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no legal basis ...

Christians who really have life in Christ cannot exist within such a corpse and will at last have to come out of it. But in almost all cases, those who have come out of dead institutions want to have in their place another institution or other rituals and ceremonies, only repeating the same error. Instead of turning to Christ Himself as their center, they again seek to find fellowship and spiritual security on the very same basis that failed, not realizing that it is the institution that is killing, instead of producing, life in Christ.

The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Offensively, his shooting has really opened up a lot for his game.

In the confusion of spiritual phenomena, ... it was possible that evil spirits, as well as the Holy Spirit, inspired some of the manifestations. One in particular Paul singles out as being in obvious contradiction to the work of the Spirit of God: "No man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema (cursed)". On the other hand, "No man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit" (I Cor. 12:3). It is difficult to conceive the state of mind of a member of a Christian congregation who would curse the name of Jesus. Yet it is evident that at Corinth, people gave way to such uncontrollable frenzy that, either in folly or in momentary reversion to Judaism or heathenism, they cursed the name in whose honour they had met... But the spirit that inspired disloyalty to Jesus Christ could not be the Holy Spirit, for in Paul's experience and theology, the two beings were, if not identical, at least in perfect harmony of principle and action. This, then, was Paul's first criterion for deciding which spiritual phenomena could be approved by Christians as the work of the Holy Spirit. They must be loyal to Jesus Christ as Lord of life, and as the object of faith and love for every believer.
