It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ... Friedrich von Schiller  September 8, 2000   Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This medal belongs to a lot of people who put in years and years of hard work and dedication.

Faith gives stability to our view of the universe. By faith we are convinced that our impressions of things without are not dreams or delusions, but, for us, true representations of our environment. By faith we are convinced that the signs of permanence, order, progress, which we observe in nature are true.

Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.

All religions attempt to bridge the gulf between the terrific purity of God and the sinfulness of man, but Christianity believes that God built that bridge Himself. This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modern architecture does not mean the use of immature new materials; the main thing is to refine materials in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modern architecture does not mean the use of immature new materials; the main thing is to refine materials in a more human direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a man never fails because he never tries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13649]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a man never fails because he never tries.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only sure thing about luck is that it will change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26041]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a person in love, the value of the individual is intuitively known.
