We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie;  But where ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51474]]></link><description><![CDATA[Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie;  But where unbruised youth with unstuffed brain   Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advertising is the very essence of democracy.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advertising is the very essence of democracy.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25717]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,  How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fake news executives are nicer than real news executives, though real news executives are funnier than fake news executives.
