The sun and moon I saw, And reverential awe Subdued me day and night,  "I am the perfect light." Within a lifeless stone -- All other gods unknown -- I sought Divinity,  "The Corner-stone am I." For sacrificial feast I slaughtered man and beast, Red recompense to gain.  "So I a Lamb was slain." "Yea, such My hungering Grace That whereso'er My face Is hidden, none may grope  Beyond eternal Hope.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Yet man is born ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles   Life together under the Word will remain sound and healthy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8602]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles   Life together under the Word will remain sound and healthy only where it does not form itself into a movement, an order, a society... but rather where it understands itself as being a part of the one, holy, catholic, Christian Church, where it shares actively and passively in the sufferings and struggles of the whole Church. Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love comes to those who still hope even though they've beendisappointed, to those who still believe even though they've beenbetrayed, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53588]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love comes to those who still hope even though they've beendisappointed, to those who still believe even though they've beenbetrayed, to those for whom love still heals, even though they'vebeenhurt before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The contact with manners then is education; and this Thucydides appears to assert when he says history is philosophy learned ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19326]]></link><description><![CDATA[The contact with manners then is education; and this Thucydides appears to assert when he says history is philosophy learned from examples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was in Logic, a great critic, Profoundly skill'd in Analytic;  He could distinguish, and divide   A ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10727]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was in Logic, a great critic, Profoundly skill'd in Analytic;  He could distinguish, and divide   A hair 'twixt south and south-west side.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll see that, since our fate is ruled by chance, Each man, unknowing, great,  Should frame life so that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17093]]></link><description><![CDATA[You'll see that, since our fate is ruled by chance, Each man, unknowing, great,  Should frame life so that at some future hour   Fact and his dreamings meet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660   If you wanted a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660   If you wanted a label for us, would you find a better than a Sadducean Age? We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is a sure anchor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60797]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is a sure anchor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jonathan Edwards - he has his faith, his health, his wife and his children, but more importantly, he has his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jonathan Edwards - he has his faith, his health, his wife and his children, but more importantly, he has his Olympic gold medal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pornography is the attempt to insult sex, to do dirt on it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A place for everything, everything in its place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45273]]></link><description><![CDATA[A place for everything, everything in its place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to publick opinion.

They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is why you fail.
