He is both Father and Son bound together in one Spirit. We are created to be brothers under God, the Father. The human family is our best illustration of how each person grows in his unique potentialities by sharing in the loving care of a society of other persons. Yet each member of the family discovers what it is to give of himself for the sake of the others. The human family is only an analogy both for our thought about God and about society; but no Christian thought gets very far away from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I write about violence as naturally as Jane Austen wrote about manners.

No, I didn't. Just kidding. I just said that to help illustrate one of the human emotions, which is freaking out. Another emotion is greed, as when you kill someone for money, or something like that.

But that would have been to Him just the one dreadful thing. That His Father should forget him! -- no power in Himself could make up for that. He feared nothing for Himself; and never once employed His divine power to save Himself from His human fate. Let God do that for Him if He saw fit. He did not come into the world to take care of Himself... His life was of no value to Him but as His Father cared for it. God would mind all that was necessary for Him, and He would mind the work His Father had given Him to do. And, my friends, this is just the one secret of a blessed life, the one thing every man comes into this world to learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that dines and leaves, layes the cloth twice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that dines and leaves, layes the cloth twice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An now the silences come in a single lifetime, in a single year... when species die, leaving a silent space ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56318]]></link><description><![CDATA[An now the silences come in a single lifetime, in a single year... when species die, leaving a silent space in the world song that can never be filled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The overall strategy over the next five years is to gain control of the border. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37281]]></link><description><![CDATA[The overall strategy over the next five years is to gain control of the border.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who won't be ruled by the rudder must be ruled by the rock. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50988]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who won't be ruled by the rudder must be ruled by the rock.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every country dogges bite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49539]]></link><description><![CDATA[In every country dogges bite.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Andy Cutler is very excited about the chance to compete at the Maymont Festival as are all of our runners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Andy Cutler is very excited about the chance to compete at the Maymont Festival as are all of our runners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he gave it for his opinion, "that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1965]]></link><description><![CDATA[And he gave it for his opinion, "that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we encountered a man or rare intellect, we should ask him what books he read.   - Ralph ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53009]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we encountered a man or rare intellect, we should ask him what books he read.   - Ralph Waldo Emerson,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By the end of the day [Friday, Sept. 1] we had clothes and food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32079]]></link><description><![CDATA[By the end of the day [Friday, Sept. 1] we had clothes and food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25664]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth may sometimes hurt but delusion harms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth may sometimes hurt but delusion harms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giving yourself to someone who doesn't respect you surrenders pieces of your soul that you'll never get back... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Giving yourself to someone who doesn't respect you surrenders pieces of your soul that you'll never get back...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lo!
