We shrink from the consequences of truth. We look round and cling dependently. We ask what men will think; what others will say; whether they will not stare in astonishment. Perhaps they will; but he who is calculating that, will accomplish nothing in this life. The Father -- the Father which is with us and in us -- what does He think? God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17948]]></link><description><![CDATA[An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Las Vegas is one of the most dynamic tourist and convention destinations in the United States, providing a high profile ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35806]]></link><description><![CDATA[Las Vegas is one of the most dynamic tourist and convention destinations in the United States, providing a high profile presence for the group in North America that will complement Shangri - La's developments in Miami, Chicago and Vancouver.

The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jews don't go to confession.

The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  August 26, 2000 Continuing a short series on the Bible:   Have you noticed this? Whatever need or trouble you are in, there is always something to help you in your Bible, if only you go on reading till you come to the word God specially has for you. I have noticed this often. Sometimes the special word is in the portion you would naturally read, or in the Psalm for the day, ... but you must go on till you find it, for it is always somewhere. You will know it the moment you come to it, for it will rest your heart.   ... Amy Carmichael, Edges of His Ways  August 27, 2000 Feast of Monica, Mother of Augustine of Hippo, 387 Concluding a short series on the Bible:   Christ is the master; the Scriptures are only the servant.   ... Martin Luther August 28, 2000 Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Too late came I to love thee, O thou Beauty so ancient and so fresh, yea too late came I to love thee. And behold, thou wert within me, and I out of myself, where I made search for thee: I ugly rushed headlong upon those beautiful things thou hast made. Thou indeed wert with me; but I was not with thee: these beauties kept me far enough from thee: even those, which unless they were in thee, should not be at all.  ... St. Augustine, Confessions August 29, 2000 The Divine Perfections. How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.   ... Isaac Watts, Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book II, #166  August 30, 2000  As for what the Church thinks and says, what influence does that have on the handling of American politics, the conduct of American education, the regulation of marriage and divorce, on sex and drink, on how industrial disputes are settled, on how we carry on business? As a plain matter of fact, religion in this country is generally regarded as a tolerated pastime for such people as happen to like to indulge in occasional godly exercises -- as a strictly private matter in an increasingly close-knit and socially acting society -- in other words, as something that does not count. I should like to see the Church recognize that it has been pushed into the realm of the non-essentials, and to persuade it to fight like fury for the right and the duty to bring every act of America and Americans before the bar of God's judgment. [Christian leaders] are making valiant claim to such a right and duty; but the great mass of Church members are content to regard the Church as a conglomerate of private culture clubs, nice for christenings, weddings and funerals. Most Church members readily agree with the unchurched majority that it is not the proper business of the Church to criticize America or Americans.  ... Bernard Iddings Bell, God is Not Dead August 31, 2000 Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, Spiritual Writer, 1688   Christians are like the flowers in a garden, that have each of them the dew of Heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other's roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a very tight balance in world supply and demand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41243]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a very tight balance in world supply and demand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their rising all at once was as the sound Of thunder heard remote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their rising all at once was as the sound Of thunder heard remote.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Era of good feeling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Era of good feeling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fell luxury! more perilous to youth Than storms or quicksands, poverty of chains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fell luxury! more perilous to youth Than storms or quicksands, poverty of chains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work.
