The fundamental notion that the Christians are a "peculiar people" that never is identical, or even can be, with a people in the biological, national sense of the word, is largely asleep. It can only become awake by a new grasp of the biblical truth that the Church is the "people of God", an elect race composed of people out of all nations, transcending all nations and races.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even if you don't like a concert of mine, please, please applaud at the end anyway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even if you don't like a concert of mine, please, please applaud at the end anyway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you use your office as you would a private trust, and the moneys as trust funds, if you faithfully ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52510]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you use your office as you would a private trust, and the moneys as trust funds, if you faithfully perform your duty, we, the people, may put you in the Presidential chair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sounding jargon of the schools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58738]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sounding jargon of the schools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your life is what your thoughts make it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your life is what your thoughts make it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last infirmity of noble mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The last infirmity of noble mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, tell me whence Love cometh! Love comes uncall'd, unsent.  Oh, tell me where Love goeth!   That ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, tell me whence Love cometh! Love comes uncall'd, unsent.  Oh, tell me where Love goeth!   That was not Love that went.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortunately for themselves and for the world, nearly all men are cowards and dare not act on what they believe. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47486]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortunately for themselves and for the world, nearly all men are cowards and dare not act on what they believe.
