Only he who lives by the forgiveness of his sin in Jesus Christ will rightly think little of himself. He will know that his own wisdom reached the end of its tether when Jesus forgave him. He will know that it is good for his own will to be broken in the encounter with his neighbor...   But not only my neighbor's will, but also his honor is more important than mine. The desire for one's own honor hinders faith. One who seeks his own honor is no longer seeking God and his neighbor. What does it matter if I suffer injustice? Would I not have deserved even worse punishment from God, if He had not dealt with me according to His mercy?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4425]]></link><description><![CDATA[An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like the bee, we should make our industry our amusement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like the bee, we should make our industry our amusement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The issue of redistricting using the 2000 Census doesn't seem likely to me to be successful.

It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These paintings originally were painted for people who just wanted to relax and escape the realities of their world, like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41235]]></link><description><![CDATA[These paintings originally were painted for people who just wanted to relax and escape the realities of their world, like pollution and overpopulation.
