Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let them learn first to show pity at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let them learn first to show pity at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This, this is misery! the last, the worst, That man can feel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42760]]></link><description><![CDATA[This, this is misery! the last, the worst, That man can feel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yeah, I played center field. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30333]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yeah, I played center field.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I die,--but first I have possess'd, And come what may, I have been bless'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47757]]></link><description><![CDATA[I die,--but first I have possess'd, And come what may, I have been bless'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Whatever is, is not," is the maxim of the anarchist, as often as anything comes across him in the shape ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17980]]></link><description><![CDATA["Whatever is, is not," is the maxim of the anarchist, as often as anything comes across him in the shape of a law which he happens not to like.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every Communist must grasp the truth: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every Communist must grasp the truth: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peer-to-peer technology has benefits, but it also carries many dangers, the most egregious of which is the potential for widespread ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peer-to-peer technology has benefits, but it also carries many dangers, the most egregious of which is the potential for widespread and unauthorized piracy.

Man knows his sin, which without temptation he could never have known; for in temptation man knows on what he has set his heart. The coming to light of sin is the work of the accuser, who thereby thinks to have won the victory. But it is sin which is become manifest which can be known, and therefore forgiven. Thus the manifestation of sin belongs to the salvation plan of God with man, and Satan must serve this plan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21911]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, half the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their class. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, half the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their class.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  Faith knows nothing of external guarantees -- that is, of course, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  Faith knows nothing of external guarantees -- that is, of course, faith as an original experience of the life of the Spirit. It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inevitable has always found me ready and hopeful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65278]]></link><description><![CDATA[The inevitable has always found me ready and hopeful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They allow schools to fit to kids instead of kids fitting to schools.
