Has it transported him for a moment into a spiritual ecstasy that vanishes when everyday life returns, or has it lodged the Word of God so securely and deeply in his heart that it holds and fortifies him, impelling him to active love, to obedience, to good works? Only the day can decide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47871]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother.

The question was whether they could be admitted without accepting the teaching and undergoing the rite. It was that question which was settled by the acknowledgement that they had received the Holy Spirit... The difficulty today is that Christians acknowledge that others have the Spirit, and yet do not recognize that they ought to be, and must be -- because spiritually they are -- in communion with one another. Men who hold a theory of the Church which excludes from communion those whom they admit to have the Spirit of Christ simply proclaim that their theory is in flat contradiction to the spiritual fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The boy stood on the burning deck Whence all but he had fled;  The flame that lit the battle's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19232]]></link><description><![CDATA[The boy stood on the burning deck Whence all but he had fled;  The flame that lit the battle's wreck,   Shone round him o'er the dead.    . . . .     The flames roll'd on--he would not go      Without his Father's word;       That father, faint in death below,        His voice no longer heard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is dangerous for a national candidate to say things that people might remember. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66037]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is dangerous for a national candidate to say things that people might remember.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despair ruins some, presumption many. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despair ruins some, presumption many.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The divide of race has been America's constant curse.
