To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flattery brings friends, but the truth begets enmity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51736]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flattery brings friends, but the truth begets enmity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How it pours, pours, pours, In a never-ending sheet!  How it drives beneath the doors!   How it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52933]]></link><description><![CDATA[How it pours, pours, pours, In a never-ending sheet!  How it drives beneath the doors!   How it soaks the passer's feet!    How it rattles on the shutter!     How it rumples up the lawn!      How 'twill sigh, and moan, and mutter,       From darkness until dawn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Presse a stick, and it seemes a youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Presse a stick, and it seemes a youth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fundamentally, all writing is about the same thing; it's about dying, about the brief flicker of time we have here, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fundamentally, all writing is about the same thing; it's about dying, about the brief flicker of time we have here, and the frustration that it creates.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resignation is the timid sign of courage ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resignation is the timid sign of courage]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will never have quotas in this city as long as I am mayor, but we will darn sure have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28713]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will never have quotas in this city as long as I am mayor, but we will darn sure have goals,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that lives not well one yeare, sorrowes seven after. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49374]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that lives not well one yeare, sorrowes seven after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could imagine it would be sold out very quickly.

Let us admit that it is part of the fallen human nature of ecclesiastics, no less than of others in responsible positions, to desire always criteria of judgement which can be used without making too heavy demands upon the delicate faculty of spiritual discernment, clear-cut rules by which we may hope to be saved from making mistakes -- or rather, from being obviously and personally responsible for the mistakes. We are uncomfortable without definite principles by which we may guide our steps. We fear uncharted country, and the fanatics of all kinds who, upon the alleged authority of the Holy Spirit, summon us with strident cries in all directions simultaneously. Only those who have never borne the heavy burden of pastoral responsibility will mock at the cautious spirit of the ecclesiastic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought it was an earthquake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36375]]></link><description><![CDATA[I thought it was an earthquake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you set out on your journey to Ithaca, pray that the road is long,full of adventure, full of knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23103]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you set out on your journey to Ithaca, pray that the road is long,full of adventure, full of knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see individuals scurrying to get into more fuel-efficient cars.
