And man would praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures; yea, man, though he bears about with him his mortality, the proof of his sin, the proof that Thou, O God, dost resist the proud, yet would man praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures. Thou dost prompt us thereto, making it a joy to praise Thee; for Thou hast created us unto Thyself, and our heart finds no rest until it rests in Thee. Grant me, O Lord, to know and understand which comes first, to call upon Thee, or to praise Thee, and which comes first, to know Thee or to call upon Thee.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    August 29, 1998  Instead of pursuing her appointed path of separation, persecution, world-hatred, poverty, and non-resistance, [the Church] has used... Scripture to justify her in lowering her purpose to the civilization of the world, the acquisition of wealth, the use of an imposing ritual, the erection of magnificent churches, the invocation of God's blessing upon the conflicts of armies, and the division of an equal brotherhood into "clergy" and "laity".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Swiftly our pleasures glide away, Our hearts recall the distant day  With many sighs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50579]]></link><description><![CDATA[Swiftly our pleasures glide away, Our hearts recall the distant day  With many sighs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's kind of been the plan to take it slow, make sure there's no setbacks.
