They stop loving God with all the heart and all the soul and all the strength and all the mind. They stop loving their neighbors, too. When you find a person of means who is not either a self-centered bore or a low person, you may know that God has worked a miracle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've known my lady (for she loves a tune) For fevers take an opera in June:  And, though perhaps ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56247]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've known my lady (for she loves a tune) For fevers take an opera in June:  And, though perhaps you'll think the practice bold,   A midnight park is sov'reign for a cold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These days, dates mean a dinner and movie-falling back on the old standards.

To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit -- that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ. The great heresy of the Church of the present day is unbelief in this Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mighty mass of brick, and smoke, and shipping, Dirty and dusty, but as wide as eye  Could reach, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25451]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mighty mass of brick, and smoke, and shipping, Dirty and dusty, but as wide as eye  Could reach, with here and there a sail just skipping   In sight, then lost amidst the forestry    Of masts; a wilderness of steeples peeping     On tiptoe through their sea-coal canopy;      A huge, dun cupola, like a foolscap crown       On a fool's head--and there is London Town.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life itself is the proper binge. -Julia Child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life itself is the proper binge. -Julia Child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, exactly, is the internet?

Sir Isaac Newton July 15, 2000 Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  There is no such thing as a post-Christian society. One generation may reject the Gospel itself, but it cannot reject it for future generations.  ... Luis Palau July 16, 2000 Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  The glory of God is a living man; and the life of man consists in beholding God.  ... Irenaeus July 17, 2000  The discussion of prayer is so great that it requires the Father to reveal it, His firstborn Word to teach it, and the Spirit to enable us to think and speak rightly of so great a subject.  ... Origen July 18, 2000  Jesus is our mouth, through which we speak to the Father; He is our eye, through which we see the Father; He is our right hand through which we offer ourselves to the Father. Unless He intercedes, there is no intercourse with God.  ... St. Ambrose July 19, 2000Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379  Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.  ... St. John Chrysostom July 20, 2000 Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  Of course, it all depends upon what we are praying for. If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who binds himself to a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20740]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who binds himself to a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sunrise]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every really new idea looks crazy at first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every really new idea looks crazy at first.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This guy (Cobb) throws 80 (mph) and he just eats people up.
