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[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380  It seems to me to be the best proof of an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7711]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380  It seems to me to be the best proof of an evangelical disposition, that persons are not angry when reproached, and have a Christian charity for those that ill deserve it.  ... The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chuse a horse made, and a wife to make. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chuse a horse made, and a wife to make.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I, of ladies most deject and wretched, That sucked the honey of his music vows,  Now see that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4128]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I, of ladies most deject and wretched, That sucked the honey of his music vows,  Now see that noble and most sovereign reason   Like sweet bells jangled, out of time and harsh,    That unmatched form and feature of blown youth     Blasted with ecstasy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If punishment makes not the will supple it hardens the offender. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52580]]></link><description><![CDATA[If punishment makes not the will supple it hardens the offender.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is tolerance? -- it is the consequence of humanity.
