But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor did there want Cornice or frieze with bossy sculpture graven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3032]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor did there want Cornice or frieze with bossy sculpture graven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lo. sifted through the winds that blow, Down comes the soft and silent snow,  White petals from the flowers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lo. sifted through the winds that blow, Down comes the soft and silent snow,  White petals from the flowers that grow   In the cold atmosphere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there are perhaps four playwrights of the 20th century that we could not have done without: Chekhov, Pirandello, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34296]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think there are perhaps four playwrights of the 20th century that we could not have done without: Chekhov, Pirandello, Brecht and Beckett.

As, therefore, He is continually making intercession for us all, so ought we to intercede and pray for one another. "A new commandment," saith He, "I give unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye love one another." The newness of this precept did not consist in this, that men were commanded to love one another for this was an old precept, both of the law of Moses and of nature. But it was new in this respect, that it was to initiate a new and, till then, unheard-of example of love; it was to love one another as Christ had loved us. And if men are to know that we are disciples of Christ, by thus loving one another according to His new example of love, then it is certain that if we are void of this love we make it as plainly known unto men that we are none of His disciples.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then happy those, beloved of heaven, To whom the mingled cup is given;  Whose lenient sorrow find relief,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51035]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then happy those, beloved of heaven, To whom the mingled cup is given;  Whose lenient sorrow find relief,   Whose joys are chastened by their grief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do everything with a mind that lets go.

Money can't buy a clear conscience—square dealing is the price tag. Money can't buy the glow of good health—right living is the secret. Money can't buy happiness—happiness is a mental condition and one may be as happy in a cottage as in a mansion. Money can't buy sunsets, songs of wild birds and the music of the wind in the trees—these are as free as the air we breath. Money can't buy inward peace—peace is the result of a constructive philosophy in life. Money can't buy a good character—good character is achieved through decent habits of private living and wholesome dealings in our open contacts with our fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not heaven itself upon the past has power; But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not heaven itself upon the past has power; But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Order is a lovely thing; on disarray it lays its wing, teaching simplicity to sing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Order is a lovely thing; on disarray it lays its wing, teaching simplicity to sing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Warre and Physicke are governed by the eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Warre and Physicke are governed by the eye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot.

Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest happiness of life it the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2220]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest happiness of life it the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Satire's my weapon, but I'm too discreet To run amuck and tilt at all I meet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Satire's my weapon, but I'm too discreet To run amuck and tilt at all I meet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prayer is the creator as well as the channel of devotion.
