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[Ring out, will bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ring out, will bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think there's any question it looks like they're left-handed, and rightly so.

The distinction is of tremendous importance. The phrase "Word of God" as used in the Bible itself, notably in the opening sentences of the Fourth Gospel, is an English translation of a Greek word, Logos, which was in wide use among philosophers at the time the New Testament was written. It connotes the creative, outgoing, self-revealing activity of God. The Logos was not a particular divine utterance, but God's overall message to mankind. It was not necessarily communicated verbally in speech or writing. Indeed, the whole point of Christianity is that the supreme communication of the Word took place when it was expressed through a human life and personality in Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All share complicity in the destruction of that much under-rated phenomenon called liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29844]]></link><description><![CDATA[All share complicity in the destruction of that much under-rated phenomenon called liberty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To converse with Scandal is to play at Losing Loadum, you must lose a good name to him, before you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54746]]></link><description><![CDATA[To converse with Scandal is to play at Losing Loadum, you must lose a good name to him, before you can win it for yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27131]]></link><description><![CDATA[I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat. -Rebecca West.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To warm their little loves the birds complain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4230]]></link><description><![CDATA[To warm their little loves the birds complain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To reform a man, you must begin with his grandmother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53220]]></link><description><![CDATA[To reform a man, you must begin with his grandmother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens.
