Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like a convent, the hospital.

At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward... We need to look ahead to be certain that our actions of today will make the world a better and richer and more varied place for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only gift is a portion of thyself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17285]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only gift is a portion of thyself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is covered by the heavens who has no sepulchral urn. [Lat., Coelo tegitur qui non habet urnam.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43045]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is covered by the heavens who has no sepulchral urn. [Lat., Coelo tegitur qui non habet urnam.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the things he has begun to do, and continues to do, is focus on Asia.

The New Testament [again, and notoriously, in the person of St Paul] assumes that there will be places other than the bedroom in which men and women assume consciously differentiated roles. They will do so in the affairs of the home, in which the wife is to "submit" to her husband (Eph. 5:22ff) as head. They will do so even outside the context of family life, since man is "head" of woman in some sense; in quite another context, when the Church is at worship (I Cor. 11:2ff). In order that St Paul should not be misjudged, we must note--(a) that this relational ordering of male and female presupposes a fundamental generic equality (I Cor. 11:1 ff); and (b) that the "submission" of the wife is a special case of a "submission" of all Christians to one another, and complements a husband's love that is to be expressed in self-sacrifice (Eph. 5:2lff, 25ff). The apostle is not an apologist for male tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I still don't know why I fish or why other men fish, except we like it and it makes us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16118]]></link><description><![CDATA[I still don't know why I fish or why other men fish, except we like it and it makes us think and feel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad excuses are worse than none ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad excuses are worse than none]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wanted more teeth in it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40397]]></link><description><![CDATA[We wanted more teeth in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald but if he has fire, women will like him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62747]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald but if he has fire, women will like him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that there is no reason to doubt but that the blessed spirits above, who continually "behold the face ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7255]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that there is no reason to doubt but that the blessed spirits above, who continually "behold the face of their Father", are still writing after this copy which is here propounded to us, and endeavouring to be "perfect as their Father which is in heaven is perfect", still aspiring after a nearer and more perfect resemblance of God, whose goodness and mercy is far beyond and before that of any creature, that they may be for ever approaching nearer to it and yet never overtake it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change.
