That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may as well say, that 's a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55958]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may as well say, that 's a valiant flea that dare eat his breakfast on the lip of a lion. -King Henry V.

In my view, that means to speak on the one hand metaphysically, and on the other individualistically. Neither of these is relevant to the Bible message or to the man of today. Is it not true to say that individualistic concern for personal salvation has almost completely left us all? Are we not really under the impression that there are more important things than bothering about such a matter? (Perhaps not more important than the matter itself, but more than bothering about it). I know it sounds pretty monstrous to say that. But is it not, at bottom, even Biblical?... It is not with the next world that we are concerned, but with this world as created and preserved and set subject to laws and atoned for and made new. What is above the world is, in the Gospel, intended to exist for this world -- I mean that not in the anthropocentric sense of liberal, pietistic, ethical theology, but in the Bible sense of the creation and of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200   Frightful this is in a sense, but it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200   Frightful this is in a sense, but it is true, and every one who has merely some little knowledge of the human heart can verify it: there is nothing to which a man holds so desperately as to his sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The zen of flyfishing is that zen mastersdon't fish.. the Buddha suffocates no creature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/254]]></link><description><![CDATA[The zen of flyfishing is that zen mastersdon't fish.. the Buddha suffocates no creature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have things in the yard that might blow away, bring them inside and trim trees and other vegetation, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33956]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have things in the yard that might blow away, bring them inside and trim trees and other vegetation,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33956</guid></item></channel></rss>
