Who goeth in the way which Christ hath gone Is much more sure to meet with Him than one   That traveleth by-ways; Perhaps my God, though He be far before,  May turn, and take me by the hand, and more,   May strengthen my decays. Yet, Lord, instruct us to improve our fast By starving sin, and taking such repast   As may our faults control; That ev'ry man may revel at his door, Not in his parlor -- banquetting the poor,   And among those, his soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look in, and see Christ's chosen saint In triumph wear his Christ-like chain;  No fear lest he should swerve ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6158]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look in, and see Christ's chosen saint In triumph wear his Christ-like chain;  No fear lest he should swerve or faint;   "His life is Christ, his death is gain."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is sheer folly to tear the hair in grief as if sorrow could be cured by baldness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48846]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is sheer folly to tear the hair in grief as if sorrow could be cured by baldness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis thus the mercury of man is fix'd, Strong grows the virtue with his nature mix'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18397]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis thus the mercury of man is fix'd, Strong grows the virtue with his nature mix'd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A king ruleth as he ought, a tyrant as he lists, a king to the profit of all, a tyrant ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59954]]></link><description><![CDATA[A king ruleth as he ought, a tyrant as he lists, a king to the profit of all, a tyrant only to please a few.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963   The sort of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963   The sort of love I have been describing... can also be felt for bodies that claim more than a natural affection: for a Church or (alas) a party in a Church, or for a religious order. This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grant that I may never rack a Scripture simile beyond the true intent thereof, lest, instead of sucking milk, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grant that I may never rack a Scripture simile beyond the true intent thereof, lest, instead of sucking milk, I squeeze blood out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Merrily, merrily shall I live now, Under the blossom that hangs on the bough. -The Tempest.

It finds men's worthwhileness deep laid in relationship to God's worthwhileness, and this devotion is expressed in communication. It finds this world precious insofar as it... symbolizes God's love and therefore it runs counter to our national sin of distrust in God.

A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17042]]></link><description><![CDATA[You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25346]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is a failure who is enjoying life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22175]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is a failure who is enjoying life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1226]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thought which does not result in an action is nothing much, and an action which does not proceed from a thought is nothing at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Brian can stay out of foul trouble, he's tough to defend in there.
