"Follow me," "come unto me," and "ye will not come unto me," indicate sufficiently that what he offered to men was himself. He seeks to win men's acceptance of the truth that had come in him. 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. He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is a welcomed gift for the uninhibited mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is a welcomed gift for the uninhibited mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication.

Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[E'en Sunday shines no Sabbath day to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54595]]></link><description><![CDATA[E'en Sunday shines no Sabbath day to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confidence awakens confidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Confidence awakens confidence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't expect to prevent negative feelings altogether.

By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The words walked right out of my mouth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27811]]></link><description><![CDATA[The words walked right out of my mouth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oft has it been my lot to mark A proud, conceited, talking spark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58618]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oft has it been my lot to mark A proud, conceited, talking spark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assertintegrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers,the creatures ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assertintegrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers,the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fire that's closest kept burns most of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fire that's closest kept burns most of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Procrastination is the grave in which opportunity is buried.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It a wretched thing to suffer at the hand of one of whom we cannot complain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51617]]></link><description><![CDATA[It a wretched thing to suffer at the hand of one of whom we cannot complain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every human heart is human. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every human heart is human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All team members know we have a responsibility to get help for guests who ask. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29268]]></link><description><![CDATA[All team members know we have a responsibility to get help for guests who ask.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349  Love ... is very noticeable as fervour and devotion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349  Love ... is very noticeable as fervour and devotion and jubilation, and is yet not always the best thing; for sometimes it is not from love but is caused by nature that one has such taste and sweetness; or it may be a heavenly impression or it may be produced by the senses, and those who have most of this are not always the best. For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the humblest among them, who may be listening to me now, I want to say that the masterpiece to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66653]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the humblest among them, who may be listening to me now, I want to say that the masterpiece to which you are paying historic homage this evening is a painting which he has saved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts.

And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are God-like, and that God's grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture: and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll have to wait and see what the results and lessons learned from the Genesis mishap reviews are to see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41702]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll have to wait and see what the results and lessons learned from the Genesis mishap reviews are to see how they will affect Mars Sample Return designs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41702</guid></item></channel></rss>
