They have nothing to say as from themselves. Their narratives place us without preface, and keep us without comment, among external scenes, in full view of facts, and in contact with the living person whom they teach us to know... Who can fail to recognize a divine provision for placing the disciples of all future ages as nearly as possible in the position of those who had been personally present at "the beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God"?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise men are not always silent, but they know when to be ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise men are not always silent, but they know when to be]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our grandly business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our grandly business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't test courage cautiously. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10318]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't test courage cautiously.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This war has been motivated by pride or arrogance,by a desire to control oil wealth, bya desire to implant our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18299]]></link><description><![CDATA[This war has been motivated by pride or arrogance,by a desire to control oil wealth, bya desire to implant our programs.on the Diane Rehm Show.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I met Billy Goldenberg, my musical director and composer, who's earned 32 Emmy nominations by the way, in 1981. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29922]]></link><description><![CDATA[I met Billy Goldenberg, my musical director and composer, who's earned 32 Emmy nominations by the way, in 1981.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus meditating you will no longer strive to build yourself up in your prejudices, but, forgetting self, you will remember ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus meditating you will no longer strive to build yourself up in your prejudices, but, forgetting self, you will remember only that you are seeking the Truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is generally recognized that creativity requires leisure, an absence of rush, time for the mind and imagination to float ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52110]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is generally recognized that creativity requires leisure, an absence of rush, time for the mind and imagination to float and wander and roam, time for the individual to descend into the depths of his or her psyche, to be available to barely audible signals rustling for attention.

The sick and the ignorant were excluded. They were under the bondage of evil demons. "This people which knoweth not the law are accursed", was the common doctrine of Jews and Greeks. The philosophers addressed themselves only to the well-to-do, the intellectual, and the pure. To the mysteries were invited only those who had clean hands and sound understanding.
