It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling.

Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My brother Bob doesn't want to be in government -- he promised Dad he'd go straight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47370]]></link><description><![CDATA[My brother Bob doesn't want to be in government -- he promised Dad he'd go straight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one has no better method of enticement to offer, the cordial agreement seems to us to be the best ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57836]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one has no better method of enticement to offer, the cordial agreement seems to us to be the best compromise. [Fr., Si l'on n'a pas de meilleurs moyen de seduction a lui offrir, l'entente cordiale nous parait fort compromise.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O world, how apt the poor are to be proud. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48211]]></link><description><![CDATA[O world, how apt the poor are to be proud.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that hath a Fox for his mate, hath neede of a net at his girdle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that hath a Fox for his mate, hath neede of a net at his girdle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sense of humor... is needed armor.

There is a total difference between surviving sin and reigning sin, the regenerate in conflict with sin and the unregenerate complacent to sin. It is one thing for sin to live in us: it is another for us to live in sin. It is of paramount concern for the Christian and for the interests of his sanctification that he should know that sin does not have the dominion over him, that the forces of redeeming, regenerative, and sanctifying grace have been brought to bear upon him in that which is central in his moral and spiritual being, that he is the habitation of God through the Spirit, and that Christ has been formed in him the hope of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius... is the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius... is the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43007]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it's going in like it was tonight the basket tends to look a lot bigger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32524]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it's going in like it was tonight the basket tends to look a lot bigger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moon looks upon many night flowers; the night flowers see but one moon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63965]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moon looks upon many night flowers; the night flowers see but one moon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thing is not vulgar merely because it is common. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44223]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thing is not vulgar merely because it is common.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When that report comes out, we'll have a better idea.
