But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man would live in peace he should be blind, deaf, and dumb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45932]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man would live in peace he should be blind, deaf, and dumb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The head never rules the heart but just becomes its partner in crime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25747]]></link><description><![CDATA[The head never rules the heart but just becomes its partner in crime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65427]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's really good.
