Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them... Listening can be a greater service than speaking... One who cannot listen long and patiently will presently be talking beside the point and be never really speaking to others. Anyone who thinks his time is too valuable to spend keeping quiet will eventually have no time for God and his brother, but only for himself and for his own follies...   We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soul is healed by being with children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6033]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soul is healed by being with children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we are going to see a winter pattern, it should happen soon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40400]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we are going to see a winter pattern, it should happen soon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11819]]></link><description><![CDATA[When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women and children what they think]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is a verb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22294]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is a verb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deserted, at his utmost need, By those his former bounty fed;  On the bare earth exposed he lies,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deserted, at his utmost need, By those his former bounty fed;  On the bare earth exposed he lies,   With not a friend to close his eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65602]]></link><description><![CDATA[God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to study the social and political history of modern nations, study hell ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43709]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to study the social and political history of modern nations, study hell]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These earthly godfathers of heaven's light, That give a name to every fixed star,  Have no more profit of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3403]]></link><description><![CDATA[These earthly godfathers of heaven's light, That give a name to every fixed star,  Have no more profit of their shining nights   Than those that walk and wot not what they are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was pretty neat.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist  Continuing a series on God and the human condition:  If we are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6653]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist  Continuing a series on God and the human condition:  If we are directed only by our particular natures, and regulate our inclinations by no higher rule than that of our reasons, we are but moralists; divinity will still call us heathens. Therefore this great work of charity must have other motives, ends, and impulsions. I give no alms to satisfy the hunger of my brother, but to fulfil and accomplish the will and command of my God; I draw not my purse for his sake that demands it, but his that enjoined it; I relieve no man upon the rhetoric of his miseries, nor to content mine own commiserating disposition, for this is still but moral charity, and an act that oweth more to passion than reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17981]]></link><description><![CDATA[And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When neither their property nor their honor is touched, the majority of men live content. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19728]]></link><description><![CDATA[When neither their property nor their honor is touched, the majority of men live content.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/751]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25679]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we see a man with bad shoes, we say it is no wonder, if he is a shoemaker. [Fr., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56218]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we see a man with bad shoes, we say it is no wonder, if he is a shoemaker. [Fr., Quand nous veoyons un homme mal chausse, nous disons que ce n'est pas merveille, s'il est chausstier.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Decisions are the endless uncertainties of life that we'll not know if theyre right until the very end, so do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Decisions are the endless uncertainties of life that we'll not know if theyre right until the very end, so do the best you can and hope its right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know of no great men except those who have rendered great service to the human race. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56738]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know of no great men except those who have rendered great service to the human race.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An accountant is a man who watches the battle from the safety of the hills and then comes down to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48329]]></link><description><![CDATA[An accountant is a man who watches the battle from the safety of the hills and then comes down to bayonet the wounded]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say that the Soviet delegates smile.
