We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The salvation of mankind lies only in making everything the concern of all ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9633]]></link><description><![CDATA[The salvation of mankind lies only in making everything the concern of all]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ninety eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans.

Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can thy enemy so hurt thee by his violence, as thou dost hurt thyself if thou love him not. And let it not seem to you impossible to love him. Believe first that it can be done, and pray that the will of God may be done in you. For what good can thy neighbor's ill do to thee? If he had no ill, he would not even be thine enemy. Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man's character is to be abused, say what you will, there's nobody like a relation to do the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/249]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man's character is to be abused, say what you will, there's nobody like a relation to do the business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All this is but a web of the wit; it can work nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24241]]></link><description><![CDATA[All this is but a web of the wit; it can work nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was dehydrated.

I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them, the revelation of God to men was made -- or appeared to be made -- less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided, and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anarchy - it's not the law, it's just a good idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anarchy - it's not the law, it's just a good idea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lofty oak from a small acorn grows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18384]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lofty oak from a small acorn grows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing that costs only a dollar is not worth having. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing that costs only a dollar is not worth having.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7343]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   We are made for action, and for right action -- for thought, and for true thought. Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We even have some of the boys peeking over the fence watching our games.
