God is merciful and kind; he bestows truth, as well as rain and sunshine, upon the just and the unjust. Christ is the "true light that enlightens every man". This bestowal should inspire feelings of joy, not resentment, in the heart of a Christian. Aristotle said many wise things about logic, Confucius many wise things about morals. When a Christian attacks general wisdom in the name of the gospel, the natural man will attack the gospel in the name of general wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If ..

"Flesh" means sin and corruption, and is opposed to the Spirit; but embodiment, outward manifestation, concrete form, is not opposed to the Spirit. "Carnal" means sinful and hostile to God; the evil spirits, who we suppose possess no bodies, are carnal, but the Son of God became man, the Word was made flesh, He took upon Him a human body as well as a reasonable soul. God's ways and thoughts are not ours. While the abstract and ethereal imaginations of human reason create a god, who is not spirit, and whom they do not worship in spirit and truth, the God of the Bible is God manifest in the flesh -- Emmanuel... Did not Jesus, after His resurrection, eat before His disciples, who gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and honey? Is not the earth to be the scene of God's triumph and manifestation? Whatever is revealed in spiritual, whatever man imagines is carnal; the end of the ways of God is embodiment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've always had a problem with people who couldn't tell the truth or admit a mistake and say they're wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63809]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've always had a problem with people who couldn't tell the truth or admit a mistake and say they're wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17869]]></link><description><![CDATA[The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17030]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try not to become a man of success but a man of value. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I ask you to join in a re-United States.

How many inventions are some people forced to have recourse to in order to keep off a certain inward uneasiness, which they are afraid of and know not whence it comes? Alas, it is because there is a fallen spirit, a dark, aching fire, within them, which has never had its proper relief and is trying to discover itself and calling out for help at every cessation of worldly joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prime Minister Blair has long felt -- he certainly felt after September 11 -- that there was no moral or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prime Minister Blair has long felt -- he certainly felt after September 11 -- that there was no moral or strategic advantage to be gained by artificial distance from the U.S.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The body is a community made up of its innumerable cells orinhabitants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21248]]></link><description><![CDATA[The body is a community made up of its innumerable cells orinhabitants.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must use time creatively. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63943]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must use time creatively.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We tell the public which way the cat is jumping.
