It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man. This is proud obstinacy and sacrilegious presumption, originating in a corrupt frenzy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time you make a choice, you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time you make a choice, you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature -- either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you should go skatingOn the thin ice of modern lifeDragging behind you the silent reproachOf a million tear-stained eyesDon't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15475]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you should go skatingOn the thin ice of modern lifeDragging behind you the silent reproachOf a million tear-stained eyesDon't be surprised when a crack in the iceAppears under your feet.You slip out of your depth and out of your mindWith your fear flowing out behind youAs you claw the thin ice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over and over again mediocrity is promoted because real worth isn't to be found. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26763]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over and over again mediocrity is promoted because real worth isn't to be found.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have learned from an early age to abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43380]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have learned from an early age to abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts.

That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He follows his father with unequal steps. [Lat., Sequiturque patrem non passibus aequis.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14408]]></link><description><![CDATA[He follows his father with unequal steps. [Lat., Sequiturque patrem non passibus aequis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity sees the need, not the cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5738]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity sees the need, not the cause.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few misfortunes can befall a boy which bring worse consequences than to have a really affectionate mother ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few misfortunes can befall a boy which bring worse consequences than to have a really affectionate mother]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sentinel angel sitting high in glory Heard this shrill wail ring out from Purgatory:  "Have mercy, mighty angel, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27338]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sentinel angel sitting high in glory Heard this shrill wail ring out from Purgatory:  "Have mercy, mighty angel, hear my story!"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Variety's the source of joy below, From whence still fresh-revolving pleasures flow,  In books and love the mind one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Variety's the source of joy below, From whence still fresh-revolving pleasures flow,  In books and love the mind one end pursues,   And only change the expiring flames renews.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60426</guid></item></channel></rss>
