He sat down by the wayside, and throwing down his load, besought Death to come. Death immediately appeared in answer to his summons and asked for what reason he had called him.

The mystic soul may impatiently think so, but the moral soul finds such mediation the way to reality; and the mystic experience is not quite trustworthy about reality. The pagan gods had no mediators, because they were not real or good gods; but the living God has a living Revealer. To know the living God is to know Christ; to know Christ is to know the living God. We do not know God by Christ but in Him. We find God when we find Christ; and in Christ alone we know and share his final purpose. Our last knowledge is not the contact of our person with a thing or a thought; it is intercourse of person and person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true art of government consists in not governing too much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18013]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true art of government consists in not governing too much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The zeal of friends it is that razes me, And not the hate of enemies.  [Ger., Der Freunde Eifer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62634]]></link><description><![CDATA[The zeal of friends it is that razes me, And not the hate of enemies.  [Ger., Der Freunde Eifer ist's, der mich   Zu Grunde richtet, nicht der Hass der Feinde.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They take the paper and they read the headlines, So they've heard of unemployment and they've heard of breadlines, And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5736]]></link><description><![CDATA[They take the paper and they read the headlines, So they've heard of unemployment and they've heard of breadlines, And they philanthropically cure them all By getting up a costume charity ball.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wages of sin are death, but by the time taxes aretaken out, it's just sort of a tired feeling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22162]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wages of sin are death, but by the time taxes aretaken out, it's just sort of a tired feeling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If by fire Of sooty coal th' empiric alchymist  Can turn, or holds it possible to turn,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1981]]></link><description><![CDATA[If by fire Of sooty coal th' empiric alchymist  Can turn, or holds it possible to turn,   Metals of drossiest ore to perfect gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kelvin has been working hard for a little over a month.

The argument from prophecy, on which the early apologists laid so much weight, was all ex post facto. No one beforehand could have conjectured a tenth of it. But without the background of Jewish prophet and psalmist, of Jewish national history, it would be hard to understand Jesus. If prophet and historian and legislator did not in type and enigma foretell in detail the story of his life, he was none the less their heir. None the less was he their heir in that he was not in bondage to his inheritance, but... a "minister not of the letter but of the spirit", and the whole of his activity lay "in newness of spirit". Without conjecturing what he might have been on another soil or of another stock--a type of guesswork always futile in history--we have to recognize the... immense spiritual wealth that lay ready to his hand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delay is the deadliest form of denial. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Delay is the deadliest form of denial.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He will hew to the line of right, let the chips fly where they may. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54240]]></link><description><![CDATA[He will hew to the line of right, let the chips fly where they may.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday Beginning a short series on forgiveness:   Turn your eyes full upon yourselves, and see if you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday Beginning a short series on forgiveness:   Turn your eyes full upon yourselves, and see if you cannot discover the same fault [that you would judge in another] in yourselves, either in times past or now-a-days. And, if you find it, remember how that it is God's appointing that you shall now behold this sin in another, in order that you may be brought to acknowledge and repent of it; and amend your ways and pray for your brother, that God may grant him repentance and amendment according to His Divine Will. Thus a good heart draws amendment from the sins of others, and is guarded from all harsh judgment and wrath, and preserves an even temper; while an evil heart puts the worst interpretation on all that it sees, and turns it to its own hurt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Margaret, Queen of Scotland, Philanthropist, Reformer of the Church, 1093 Commemoration of Edmund Rich of Abingdon, Archbishop of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Margaret, Queen of Scotland, Philanthropist, Reformer of the Church, 1093 Commemoration of Edmund Rich of Abingdon, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1240   This idea of the Bible's unity is not a concept which is imposed upon the Bible because of the dogmatic assertion that it is verbally inspired. To the contrary, it is inherent in the Bible, for the Bible declares itself to be the Word of God. If it be the Word of God, its various teachings should all form a coherent unity. This presupposition of the Bible's unity provides a test for the validity of a system of interpretation: if the system is not able to demonstrate the Bible's unity, it must be an inadequate system.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Jove but laughs at lovers' perjury. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48945]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Jove but laughs at lovers' perjury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is preoccupation with possession, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48431]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is preoccupation with possession, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is all very frustrating, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29426]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is all very frustrating,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life tobecome well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21213]]></link><description><![CDATA[A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life tobecome well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Relationships are like crystals, you don't realize how much you love it until it breaks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Relationships are like crystals, you don't realize how much you love it until it breaks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6650]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882  As St. Cyprian well said, we may judge how ready He is to give us those good things which He Himself solicits us to ask of Him. Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us.
