A whole life long didst thou suffer that I too might be saved; and yet thy suffering is not yet at an end; but this too wilt thou endure, saving and redeeming me, this patient suffering of having to do with me, I who so often go astray from the right path, or even when I remained on the straight path stumbled along it or crept so slowly along the right path. Infinite patience, suffering of infinite patience. How many times have I not been impatient, wished to give up and forsake everything; wished to take the terribly easy way out, despair: but thou didst not lose patience. Oh, I cannot say what thy chosen servant says: that he filled up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in his flesh; no, I can only say that I increased thy sufferings, added new ones to those which thou didst once suffer in order to save me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a man. Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love and businesse teach eloquence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love and businesse teach eloquence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...the ultimate decision about what is accepted as right and wrong will be made not by individual human wisdom but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47360]]></link><description><![CDATA[...the ultimate decision about what is accepted as right and wrong will be made not by individual human wisdom but by the disappearance of the groups that have adhered to the "wrong" beliefs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O rose, who dares to name thee? No longer roseate now, nor soft, nor sweet,  But pale, and hard, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54426]]></link><description><![CDATA[O rose, who dares to name thee? No longer roseate now, nor soft, nor sweet,  But pale, and hard, and dry, as stubblewheat,--   Kept seven years in a drawer, thy titles shame thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Authority intoxicates, And makes mere sots of magistrates;  The fumes of it invade the brain,   And make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Authority intoxicates, And makes mere sots of magistrates;  The fumes of it invade the brain,   And make men giddy, proud, and vain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the dead bury the dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51010]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the dead bury the dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We picked Indiana as our location for many reasons, one of which is soybean availability, access to transportation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34592]]></link><description><![CDATA[We picked Indiana as our location for many reasons, one of which is soybean availability, access to transportation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great poet has seldom sung of lawfully wedded happiness, but of free and secret love; and in this respect, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26440]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great poet has seldom sung of lawfully wedded happiness, but of free and secret love; and in this respect, too the time is coming when there will no longer be one standard of morality for poetry and another for life.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no life that does not contribute to history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19367]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no life that does not contribute to history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unfortunately in groups that deal with politics, membership gets bigger when we are close to an election then sort of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unfortunately in groups that deal with politics, membership gets bigger when we are close to an election then sort of drops off in a non-election year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've had the boyhood thing of being Elvis.

It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond? There can be no doubt that that which unites them is a common relation to Christ -- a common faith in Him, involving religious convictions about Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night.
