Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Dwarfe on a Gyants shoulder sees further of the two. [A dwarf on a giant's shoulder sees farther of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Dwarfe on a Gyants shoulder sees further of the two. [A dwarf on a giant's shoulder sees farther of the two.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nails were not enough to hold God-and-man nailed and fastened on the Cross, had not love held Him there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nails were not enough to hold God-and-man nailed and fastened on the Cross, had not love held Him there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, Spiritual Writer, 1688  Here in Pilgrim's Progress there is the ultimate human nostalgia for the City of God, which is the restless heart's true home.
