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[In liberal democracy and anxious anarchy, the traditional classic dance, compact of aristocratic authority and absolute freedom in a necessity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2472]]></link><description><![CDATA[In liberal democracy and anxious anarchy, the traditional classic dance, compact of aristocratic authority and absolute freedom in a necessity of order, has never been so promising as an independent expression as it is today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may be on land, yet not in a garden. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50134]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may be on land, yet not in a garden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have done, is to hang Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail  In monumental mockery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51276]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have done, is to hang Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail  In monumental mockery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977  Men must not content themselves with the lawfulness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday Feast of Janani Luwum, Archbishop of Uganda, Martyr, 1977  Men must not content themselves with the lawfulness of their employments, but must consider whether they use them, as they are to use everything, as strangers and pilgrims that are baptised into the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that we are to follow Him in a wise and heavenly course of life, in the mortification of the worldly desires, and in purifying and preparing their souls for the blessed enjoyment of God. For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew it would rain, for the poplars showed The white of their leaves, the amber grain  Shrunk in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52929]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew it would rain, for the poplars showed The white of their leaves, the amber grain  Shrunk in the wind,--and the lightning now   Is tangled in tremulous skeins of rain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58711]]></link><description><![CDATA[No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This has certainly been an exceptional year.

A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item></channel></rss>
