There is one Holy God, creator of heaven and earth. He is Lord of all life. To Him we are beholden for our life in all its meaning and its hope. Monotheism for the Christian means that anything else which is put in the place of our loyalty to God is an idol. The worship of national power, or racial prestige, or financial success, or cultural tradition, is a violation of the one truth about life, that all created things come from God. To commit life to the one true God is to refuse to have any other gods at all. Values there are in abundance, interests, plans, programs, loyalties to family and nation. But these are not gods; they do not save us; they are not holy in themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheek . . . Flushing white and mellow'd red;  Gradual tints, as when there glows   In snowy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheek . . . Flushing white and mellow'd red;  Gradual tints, as when there glows   In snowy milk the bashful rose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48432]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is an infinite capacity for taking life by the scruff of the neck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is an infinite capacity for taking life by the scruff of the neck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of George, Martyr, Patron of England, c.304 Commemoration of Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1988  The Bible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of George, Martyr, Patron of England, c.304 Commemoration of Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1988  The Bible tells us very clearly that to "know" God is not an affair of the mind only, but an act in which our whole being -- heart, mind, and will -- is vitally engaged; so that sheer intellectual speculation would enable us to form certain ideas about God but never to know Him. To be grasped, God's will must be met with a readiness to obey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every picture tells a story. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50982]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every picture tells a story.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to conduct yourself properly before your superiors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50259]]></link><description><![CDATA[How to conduct yourself properly before your superiors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Chicken is the Countries, but the Citie eats it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49812]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Chicken is the Countries, but the Citie eats it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, swiftly glides the bonnie boat. Just parted from the shore,  And to the fisher's chorus-note,   Soft ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, swiftly glides the bonnie boat. Just parted from the shore,  And to the fisher's chorus-note,   Soft moves the dipping oar!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was an ape in the days that were earlier, Centuries passed and his hair became curlier;  Centuries more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14347]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was an ape in the days that were earlier, Centuries passed and his hair became curlier;  Centuries more gave a thumb to his wrist--   Then he was a Man and a Positivist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bhutan - having looked at its neighbor, Nepal, which is overpopulated, has ruined its environment and is very unstable politically ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35610]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bhutan - having looked at its neighbor, Nepal, which is overpopulated, has ruined its environment and is very unstable politically - knows what it wants: not to become another Nepal,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Usually in a battle sequence when a bomb is going off, you forget you're acting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Usually in a battle sequence when a bomb is going off, you forget you're acting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience and Diligence, like faith, remove mountains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience and Diligence, like faith, remove mountains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those two stood up and said they didn't want to do that again, and the rest of the kids are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40235]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those two stood up and said they didn't want to do that again, and the rest of the kids are saying they train with them, why can't they go to state, too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books are like a mirror.

So, o'er the hills of life, stormy, forlorn, Out of the cloud and strife sunrise is born; Swift grows the light for us, Ended is night for us,  Soundless and bright for us breaketh God's morn. Hear we no beat of drums, fanfare, nor cry, When Christ the herald comes quietly nigh; Splendor He makes on earth; Color awakes on earth;  Suddenly breaks on earth light from the sky. Bid then farewell to sleep: rise up and run! What though the hill be steep? Strength's in the sun. Now you shall find at last Night's left behind at last,  And for mankind at last, Day has begun!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modern man drives a mortgaged car over a bond-financed highway on credit-card gas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modern man drives a mortgaged car over a bond-financed highway on credit-card gas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Visit of the Virgin Mary to Elizabeth  The solution lies in a complete realisation of what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Visit of the Virgin Mary to Elizabeth  The solution lies in a complete realisation of what we mean by asserting that God is Almighty. The two ideas of Free-will and Divine Sovereignty can not be reconciled in our own minds, but that does not prevent them from being reconciled in God's mind. We measure Him by our own intellectual standard if we think otherwise. And so our solution of the problem of Free-will and of the problems of history and of individual salvation must finally lie in the full acceptance and realisation of what is implied by the infinity and the omniscience of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14361]]></link><description><![CDATA[This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called "natural selection, or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All Michelle wanted was to see for herself if she could do it or not.
