The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate now knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a thing very displeasing to me when the hen speaks and the cock is silent. [Fr., C'est chose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61917]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a thing very displeasing to me when the hen speaks and the cock is silent. [Fr., C'est chose qui moult me deplaist,  Quand poule parle et coq se taist.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bottom line is this -- for how long can the military remain restrained?

Utopias are the straws to which those cling who have no real hope; utopias are as unattractive as they are incredible, for those who know what real hope is. Utopias are not a consequence of true hope but a poor substitute for it and therefore a hindrance and not a help. The hope that is in Jesus Christ is different from all utopias of universal progress. It is based on the revelation of the crucified one. It is, therefore, not an uncertain speculation about the future but a certainty based upon what God has already revealed. One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without knowing for certain that God's victory over all powers of destruction, including death, is the end towards which the time process moves as its own end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ultimate indignity is to be given a bedpan by a stranger who calls you by your first name. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19883]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ultimate indignity is to be given a bedpan by a stranger who calls you by your first name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No, Freedom has a thousand charms to show That slaves, howe'er contented, never know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16675]]></link><description><![CDATA[No, Freedom has a thousand charms to show That slaves, howe'er contented, never know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

It reveals a split personality in which faith is "observed" and appraised, thus negating that unity born of a dying-unto-self, which is the definition of faith.

This faith, once given, proved to be -- like the Person who gave rise to it -- essentially self-authenticating. And ever since, the Church has looked to the Cross, a symbol of weakness, as its unique source of power in preaching the Gospel, its authority both to teach and to preach has been of this kind. No amount of liaison between the Church and the source of any other authority, political or moral, must be allowed to obscure the simplicity -- and the mystery -- of the authority of Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were leading Toms River South after the first quarter.
