Where we find these words used we are being reminded of the intimate union with Christ which makes the Christian life an eternal life lived in the midst of time. The deeper shade of meaning would often be conveyed to our minds if we translated the phrase "in communion with Christ". But, Paul's Christ mysticism is saved from the introverted individualism of many forms of mysticism by his insistence that communion with Christ is also communion with all who are Christ's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience comprises illusions lost, rather than wisdom gained. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience comprises illusions lost, rather than wisdom gained.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13632]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to believe that a man does possess good qualities than to assert that he does not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24664]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to believe that a man does possess good qualities than to assert that he does not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even a small star shines in the darkness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even a small star shines in the darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation as a society forms a moral person, and every member of it is personally responsible for his society ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43713]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation as a society forms a moral person, and every member of it is personally responsible for his society]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behavior is a mirror in which every one displays his own image ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3982]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behavior is a mirror in which every one displays his own image]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My dear, my native soil! For whom my warmest wish to Heav'n is sent,  Long may thy hardy sons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25953]]></link><description><![CDATA[My dear, my native soil! For whom my warmest wish to Heav'n is sent,  Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toil   Be blest with health, and peace, and sweet content!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.
