The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it.

Those words have been interpreted as though they described the Law as a preparatory education, continued at a higher stage by Christ. That, however, is not quite what Paul meant. The "pedagogue" in Greek society was not a schoolmaster, he did not give lessons. He was a slave who accompanied a boy to school, and both waited upon him and exercised a supervision which interfered with the boy's freedom of action. He is, in fact, a figure in the little allegory which Paul gives us to illustrate the position of the People of God before Christ came. There was a boy left heir to a great estate. He was a minor, and so must have guardians and trustees. He was as helpless in their hands as if he had been a slave. He must live on the allowance they gave him, and follow their wishes from day to day. They gave him a "pedagogue" to keep him out of mischief. He could not please himself, or realize his own purposes and ambitions. Yet all the time he was the heir; the estate was his, and no one else's. Just so the People of God, the Divine Commonwealth, was cramped and fettered by ignorance and evil times. It remained in uneasy expectation of one day coming into active existence. At last the heir came of age: guardians and trustees abdicated their powers, and the grown man possessed in full realization all that was his. So now the fettered life of the Divine Commonwealth bursts its bonds and comes into active existence... The intervention of law was not a reversal of God's original and eternal purpose of pure love and grace towards men, it only subserved that purpose, while it seemed to contradict it, just as the presence of the "pedagogus" might seem to the high-spirited young heir quite contrary to the rights secured to him by his father's will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Domestic Happiness, thou only bliss Of Paradise that hast survived the Fall! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Domestic Happiness, thou only bliss Of Paradise that hast survived the Fall!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slander is a poison which kills charity, both in the slanderer and the one who listens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tale in everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57930]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tale in everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4465]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to climb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For our men's relay team to come home as All-Americans shows the kind of success they're going to have in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32749]]></link><description><![CDATA[For our men's relay team to come home as All-Americans shows the kind of success they're going to have in the outdoor season.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Competition is what keeps me playing the psychological warfare of matching skill against skill and wit against wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Competition is what keeps me playing the psychological warfare of matching skill against skill and wit against wit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marketers are out there trying to figure out how to get your money out of your child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65347]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marketers are out there trying to figure out how to get your money out of your child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I saw was equal ecstasy: One universal smile it seemed of all things.  [It., Cio ch'io vedeva mi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24172]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I saw was equal ecstasy: One universal smile it seemed of all things.  [It., Cio ch'io vedeva mi sembrava un riso   Dell's universo.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24172</guid></item></channel></rss>
