His words and deeds served to indicate what manner of man he was and what kind of work he had come to do; and all the time it is a person addressing persons, seeking to gain their recognition of and their self-commitment to himself.

Its core was the conviction that in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the Kingdom". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture which was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61519]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11817]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Summer lasts not for ever; seasons succeed each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Summer lasts not for ever; seasons succeed each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The evil of riches, then, for institutions, for nations, for individuals, is that those who possess or seek to possess ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6496]]></link><description><![CDATA[The evil of riches, then, for institutions, for nations, for individuals, is that those who possess or seek to possess almost invariably overvalue possessions and so cease to live creatively.
