And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something terrible happens, and you might say, "God help us!", or "Jesus Christ!" -- the poor, crippled prayers that are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Something terrible happens, and you might say, "God help us!", or "Jesus Christ!" -- the poor, crippled prayers that are hidden in the minor blasphemies of people for whom in every sense God is dead, except that they still have to speak to him, if only through clenched teeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things deteriorate in time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51782]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things deteriorate in time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Saints & Martyrs of England  The one supreme, unchangeable rule of love, which is a law to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Saints & Martyrs of England  The one supreme, unchangeable rule of love, which is a law to all intelligent beings of all worlds and will be a law to all eternity, is this, viz., that God alone is to be loved for Himself, and all other beings only in Him and for Him. Whatever intelligent creature lives not under this rule of love is so far fallen from the order of his creation, and is, till he returns to this eternal law of love, an apostate from God and incapable of the kingdom of Heaven. Now, if God is alone to be loved for Himself, then no creature is to be loved for itself; and so all self-love in every creature is absolutely condemned. And if all created beings are only to be loved in and for God, then my neighbour is to be loved as I love myself, and I am only to love myself as I love my neighbour or any other created being that is, only in and for God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People should think less about what they ought to do and more about what they ought to be.

If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If no one is going to the malls, they're not going to advertise as much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34320]]></link><description><![CDATA[If no one is going to the malls, they're not going to advertise as much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silver is of less value than gold, gold than virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silver is of less value than gold, gold than virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One forgives to the degree that one loves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64285]]></link><description><![CDATA[One forgives to the degree that one loves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The concert was all about raising awareness, but Peter looked like he was having trouble raising his own awareness - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32349]]></link><description><![CDATA[The concert was all about raising awareness, but Peter looked like he was having trouble raising his own awareness - he looked wasted,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diplomacy is more than saying or doing the right things at the right time, it is avoiding saying or doing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diplomacy is more than saying or doing the right things at the right time, it is avoiding saying or doing the wrong things at any time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[IP therapy is not a new treatment approach, but it has not been widely accepted as the gold standard for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33368]]></link><description><![CDATA[IP therapy is not a new treatment approach, but it has not been widely accepted as the gold standard for women with ovarian cancer. There has been a prejudice against IP therapy in ovarian cancer because it's an old idea, it requires skill and experience for the surgery and for the chemotherapy, and it's more complicated than IV chemotherapy. But now we have firm data showing that we should use a combination of IP and IV chemotherapy in most women with advanced ovarian cancer who have had successful surgery to remove the bulk of their tumor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nowher so besy a man as he ther was, And yet he semed bisier than he was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nowher so besy a man as he ther was, And yet he semed bisier than he was.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loe here the precious dust is layd; Whose purely-temper'd clay was made  So fine that it the guest betray'd. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loe here the precious dust is layd; Whose purely-temper'd clay was made  So fine that it the guest betray'd.   Else the soule grew so fast within,    It broke the outward shall of sinne     And so was hatch'd a cherubin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talkers are usually more articulate than doers, since talk is their specialty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talkers are usually more articulate than doers, since talk is their specialty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Masses are always breeding grounds of psychic epidemics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Masses are always breeding grounds of psychic epidemics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17665]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what isimpossible with talent is genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doing easily what others find difficult is talent; doing what isimpossible with talent is genius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anytime you're competing on large animals, there's a chance someone's going to get hurt.

If the universe is so bad, or even half so bad, how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator? Men are fools, perhaps; but hardly so foolish as that. The direct inference from black to white, from evil flower to virtuous root, from senseless work to a workman infinitely wise, staggers belief. The spectacle of the universe as revealed by experience can never have been the ground of religion: it must have always been something in spite of which religion, acquired from a different source, was held.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a veteran volunteer fire fighter, as well as a filmmaker, I wanted to share my experience of what it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40997]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a veteran volunteer fire fighter, as well as a filmmaker, I wanted to share my experience of what it was really like at Ground Zero from the perspective of the rescue and recovery workers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was a (missed assignment).

Its core was the conviction that in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the Kingdom". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture which was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls; Who, when he had found one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls; Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always do right.

Every man is to work for his living. "If a man will not work, neither let him eat." But those who cannot work are to be provided for out of the common fund. Old and helpless persons who have relations of their own should, indeed, find support from them and not be forced to come upon the Church; but for the resourceless the Church must provide. And those who are rich and who earn more than enough to support their own families are to be willing contributors to the common fund. The love of money -- the desire to accumulate wealth -- is the root of every kind of evil. The relation of one to another is to be that of members in one body, in which, if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mediocrity would always win by force of numbers, but it would win only more mediocrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62971]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mediocrity would always win by force of numbers, but it would win only more mediocrity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22246]]></link><description><![CDATA[To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted by no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it -- who can say this is not greatness?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have fun like a child in the street.
