It is because His sufferings, His death and cross, were the fulness of His victory over all the works of the devil. Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ. Well, therefore, may the cross of Christ be the glory of Christians!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My words in her mind: cold polished stones sinking through a quagmire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64529]]></link><description><![CDATA[My words in her mind: cold polished stones sinking through a quagmire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come from a tradition of screenwriting -- with a co-writer -- where everything is challenged, where you have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36931]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come from a tradition of screenwriting -- with a co-writer -- where everything is challenged, where you have to defend every idea, ...

This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[raspberry drupelets cluster around a cavern of emptiness(paraphrased from her talk on C Span's Book TV). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43944]]></link><description><![CDATA[raspberry drupelets cluster around a cavern of emptiness(paraphrased from her talk on C Span's Book TV).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feminism is the radical notion that women are people ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feminism is the radical notion that women are people]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as I have fat turtle-doves, a fig of your lettuce, my friend, and you may keep your shell-fish ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13232]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as I have fat turtle-doves, a fig of your lettuce, my friend, and you may keep your shell-fish to yourself.
