For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. 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[We are talking now of summer evenings in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the time that I lived there so successfully disguised ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36991]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are talking now of summer evenings in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the time that I lived there so successfully disguised to myself as a child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What companies report now is less influential than what they say about future quarters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34034]]></link><description><![CDATA[What companies report now is less influential than what they say about future quarters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love you, but I love myself more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59908]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love you, but I love myself more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ultimate end of all revolutionary social change is to establish the sanctity of human life, the dignity of man, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12285]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ultimate end of all revolutionary social change is to establish the sanctity of human life, the dignity of man, the right of every human being to liberty and well-being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no teaching until the pupil is brought into the same state or principle in which you are; a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58743]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no teaching until the pupil is brought into the same state or principle in which you are; a transfusion takes place; he is you, and you are he; there is a teaching; and by no unfriendly chance or bad company can he ever quite lose the benefit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity is the last and strongest weapon. [Lat., Necessitas ultimum et maximum telum est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44050]]></link><description><![CDATA[Necessity is the last and strongest weapon. [Lat., Necessitas ultimum et maximum telum est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have Dick to thank for adding the word 'regionalism' to our vocabulary.

Often the layman dismisses what the preacher says as something irrelevant to his situation and generation. When he joins a group where he is no longer afraid to be frank, the supposedly faithful member often admits that he has never really accepted what he thinks he has heard. He has, for example, grave reservations about the idea of creation. Did not the world evolve of itself? Do we really need the hypothesis of Infinite Purpose to make sense of the physical, biological, and psychological development? These questions seldom come to the surface when the Church provides merely a one-way preaching. There is little chance of renewal if all that we have is the arrangement by which one speaks and the others listen. One trouble with this conventional system is that the speaker never knows what the unanswered questions are, or what reservations remain in the layman's mentality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel happy because I won, but more because the team won and we needed to win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34788]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel happy because I won, but more because the team won and we needed to win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pity costs nothing, and it ain't worth nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pity costs nothing, and it ain't worth nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a heart with room for every joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19028]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a heart with room for every joy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;  When the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24161]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;  When the air does laugh with our merry wit,   And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hell is oneself; Hell is alone, the other figures in it merely projections.

The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deny Self for Self's sake ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deny Self for Self's sake]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eager souls, mystics and revolutionaries, may propose to refashion the world in accordance with their dreams; but evil remains, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eager souls, mystics and revolutionaries, may propose to refashion the world in accordance with their dreams; but evil remains, and so long as it lurks in the secret places of the heart, utopia is only the shadow of a dream]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You prove but too clearly that seeking to know Is too frequently learning to doubt.  [Fr., Vous ne prouvez ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12749]]></link><description><![CDATA[You prove but too clearly that seeking to know Is too frequently learning to doubt.  [Fr., Vous ne prouvez que trop que chercher a connaitre   N'est souvent qu' apprendre a douter.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In (the) tsunami-affected region, we are trying to do that, to say 'This is an opportunity to go about things ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41515]]></link><description><![CDATA[In (the) tsunami-affected region, we are trying to do that, to say 'This is an opportunity to go about things the right way and take the time to do it right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean--roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;  Man marks the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean--roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;  Man marks the earth with ruin--his control   Stops with the shore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life brings simple pleasures to us every day.

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers; or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will. "God", says Pascal, "instituted prayer in order to lend to His creatures the dignity of causality." But it is not only prayer; whenever we act at all, He lends us that dignity. It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66268]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists.
