Christianity fails because people will keep on the surface too much, they will not go down to face these deep inner obediences; and that is ultimately to be beaten by themselves. We talk big and play so small. And the world has found it out --the great bulk have discarded Christianity as the way of Hope and put their hope in other things.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  September 26, 1998  Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942  Even those of us who are inside it will agree that, in the main, the Church and all for which it stands occupy a palpably smaller place in the life of the average member than it did in former days. We explain it on the ground that life has become fuller, and that, of necessity, our attention nowadays has to percolate over a wide area instead of rushing foam-flecked down a narrower channel -- which is to say, in other words, that Christ is getting lost to us in the crush and throng of things, does not loom up as arresting, as unique, as all-important, as He did to our forefathers. Yet that, when you come to think of it, is no bad definition of unspirituality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like I'm giving a little something back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31422]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel like I'm giving a little something back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accept these grateful tears! for thee thy flow, For thee, that ever felt another's woe! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accept these grateful tears! for thee thy flow, For thee, that ever felt another's woe!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27549]]></link><description><![CDATA[Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, And robes the mountain in its azure hue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43297]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, And robes the mountain in its azure hue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  The man who will and can go to our Lord in all freedom... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  The man who will and can go to our Lord in all freedom... must be such that his love for the Sacrament and for our Lord grows more and more by this [Holy Communion], and that the reverence is not diminished by frequently approaching it. For often what is one man's life may be another's death. Therefore you should observe yourself, whether your love for God is growing and your reverence is not destroyed. Then, the more frequently you go to the Sacrament, the better you will become, and the better and more profitable it will be.

A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988  [Unbelievers] think they have made great efforts to get at the truth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988  [Unbelievers] think they have made great efforts to get at the truth when they have spent a few hours in reading some book out of Holy Scripture, and have questioned some cleric about the truths of the faith.
