Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No other success can compensate for failure in the home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60232]]></link><description><![CDATA[No other success can compensate for failure in the home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We conquered France, but felt our captive's charms, Her arts victorious triumph'd o'er our arms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60591]]></link><description><![CDATA[We conquered France, but felt our captive's charms, Her arts victorious triumph'd o'er our arms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Animals do not admire each other.

Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you conquer them; talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them: show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others.  If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subjects of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back; neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of the heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A degree is not an education, and the confusion on this point is perhaps the gravest weakness in American thinking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9749]]></link><description><![CDATA[A degree is not an education, and the confusion on this point is perhaps the gravest weakness in American thinking about education]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After a day of cloud and wind and rain Sometimes the setting sun breaks out again,  And touching all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58333]]></link><description><![CDATA[After a day of cloud and wind and rain Sometimes the setting sun breaks out again,  And touching all the darksome woods with light,   Smiles on the fields until they laugh and sing,    Then like a ruby from the horizon's ring,     Drops down into the night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I definitely think fly tying is addicting, but you can start out cheaply.
