Sir Isaac Newton July 15, 2000 Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  There is no such thing as a post-Christian society. One generation may reject the Gospel itself, but it cannot reject it for future generations.  ... Luis Palau July 16, 2000 Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  The glory of God is a living man; and the life of man consists in beholding God.  ... Irenaeus July 17, 2000  The discussion of prayer is so great that it requires the Father to reveal it, His firstborn Word to teach it, and the Spirit to enable us to think and speak rightly of so great a subject.  ... Origen July 18, 2000  Jesus is our mouth, through which we speak to the Father; He is our eye, through which we see the Father; He is our right hand through which we offer ourselves to the Father. Unless He intercedes, there is no intercourse with God.  ... St. Ambrose July 19, 2000Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379  Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.  ... St. John Chrysostom July 20, 2000 Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  Of course, it all depends upon what we are praying for. If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger may be kindled in the noblest breasts: but in these slow droppings of an unforgiving temper never takes the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger may be kindled in the noblest breasts: but in these slow droppings of an unforgiving temper never takes the shape of consistency of enduring hatred.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way is an ill neighbour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49930]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way is an ill neighbour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44394]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65275]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bird that hath been limed in a bush With trembling wing misdoubteth every bush. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51329]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bird that hath been limed in a bush With trembling wing misdoubteth every bush.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somebody could read about Shakespeare and get honors credit, but those kids who not only have to read Shakespeare but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30665]]></link><description><![CDATA[Somebody could read about Shakespeare and get honors credit, but those kids who not only have to read Shakespeare but to act it and perform it didn't.
