It is an awful hour when the first necessity of hiding something comes. The whole life is different thenceforth. When there are questions to be feared and eyes to be avoided and subjects which must not be touched, the bloom of life is gone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Canada has never been a melting pot; more like a tossed salad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Canada has never been a melting pot; more like a tossed salad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19076]]></link><description><![CDATA[There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16949]]></link><description><![CDATA[Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trinity Sunday   I vehemently dissent from those who would not have private persons read the Holy Scriptures, nor ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trinity Sunday   I vehemently dissent from those who would not have private persons read the Holy Scriptures, nor have them translated into the vulgar tongues. I would wish that all women -- girls even -- would read the Gospels and the letters of Paul. I wish that they were translated into all languages of all people. To make them understood is surely the first step. It may be that they might be ridiculed by many, but some would take them to heart. I long that the husbandman should sing portions of them to himself as he follows the plough, that the weaver should hum them to the tune of his shuttle, that the traveller should beguile with their stories the tedium of his journey.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Incomprehensible jargon is the hallmark of a profession. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23119]]></link><description><![CDATA[Incomprehensible jargon is the hallmark of a profession.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you make a living, if you earn your own money, you're free - however free one can be on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5039]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you make a living, if you earn your own money, you're free - however free one can be on this planet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63658]]></link><description><![CDATA[We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adam was a development project.

Then everybody would leave the Cricket Boy alone, and I'd invite him over to spend the night at my house, but after about five minutes of that loud chirping I'd have to kick him out. Maybe later we could get up a petition to get the Cricket Family run out of town.

He may hand down everything else, so long as it is material and not pertaining to his person, for it may be acquired and disposed of as property and may over a series of generations create considerable inequalities in wealth among the mem­bers of the commonwealt. But he may not prevent his sub­ordinates from raising themselves to his own level if they are able and entitled to do so by their talent, industry and good fortune. If this were not so, he would be allowed to practise coercion without himself being subject to coercive counter-measures from others, and would thus be more than their fellow-subject.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assurance is two-thirds of success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Assurance is two-thirds of success.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the alchemy of man's soul almost all noble attributes- courage, honor, love, hope, faith, duty, loyalty, and so on- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52275]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the alchemy of man's soul almost all noble attributes- courage, honor, love, hope, faith, duty, loyalty, and so on- can be transmuted into ruthlessness.

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Natural Clock-work by the might One Wound up at first, and ever since have gone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58309]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Natural Clock-work by the might One Wound up at first, and ever since have gone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got a big 600 meter uphill run (the peak of the hill is just under the 2.5 mile mark ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37362]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got a big 600 meter uphill run (the peak of the hill is just under the 2.5 mile mark of the 3.1-mile 5K), ...

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If that proves not to be possible then I think as a community we're prepared to trust to the good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38770]]></link><description><![CDATA[If that proves not to be possible then I think as a community we're prepared to trust to the good offices of the premier and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38770</guid></item></channel></rss>
