After a long and fruitless search, he made a vow that, if he could only discover the thief who had stolen the Calf, he would offer a lamb in sacrifice to Hermes, Pan, and the Guardian Deities of the forest. Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. Terrified at the sight, he lifted his eyes and his hands to heaven, and said: Just now I vowed to offer a lamb to the Guardian Deities of the forest if I could only find out who had robbed me; but now that I have discovered the thief, I would willingly add a full-grown Bull to the Calf I have lost, if I may only secure my own escape from him in safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There ought to be system of manners in every nation which a well-formed mind would be disposed to relish.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have. -Doris Mortman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have. -Doris Mortman.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now, we have this positive confluence of earnings and economic news that has been propelling the market. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right now, we have this positive confluence of earnings and economic news that has been propelling the market.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is improbable until it moves into the past tense ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is improbable until it moves into the past tense]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two men look out a window.

He is oppressed by a sense of impotence in the grasp of merciless forces which he can neither overcome nor escape. These forces may be Frankenstein monsters of man's own creation, or they may be horrors outside his conscious control; either way, he is intimidated by the vastness of those fateful currents which threaten to sweep him on to destruction, whether he will or no. And to modern man in his frustration and despair, the full-orbed gospel of Christ, as Paul presents it to the Colossians, is the one message of hope. Christ crucified and risen is Lord of all; all the forces in the universe, well-disposed and ill-disposed, are subject to Him. To be united to Christ by faith is to throw off the thraldom of hostile powers, to enjoy perfect freedom, to gain the mastery over the dominion of evil -- because Christ's victory is ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no gardening without humility.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Pentecost Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605  It was something more than a glorified Jesus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Pentecost Feast of Augustine, first Archbishop of Canterbury, 605  It was something more than a glorified Jesus Christ in the heavens in which [the Apostles] believed. In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hate is such a luxurious emotion, it can only be spent on one we love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hate is such a luxurious emotion, it can only be spent on one we love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18876</guid></item></channel></rss>
