A Dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water pluckeda leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The Antclimbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortlyafterwards a birdcatcher came and stood under the tree, and laidhis lime-twigs for the Dove, which sat in the branches. The Ant,perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain thebirdcatcher threw down the twigs, and the noise made the Dovetake wing.One good turn deserves another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit.

It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Giles of Provence, Hermit, c.710   The purpose of religion -- at any rate, the Christian religion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7281]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Giles of Provence, Hermit, c.710   The purpose of religion -- at any rate, the Christian religion -- is not to get you into heaven, but to get heaven into you.   ... Frederick Ward Kates  September 2, 2000 Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them. Their own desire for the revelation of the glory of Jesus in the salvation of men went out towards those whom they met, and was immediately answered by the recognition of the need of those whom they met for Jesus Christ.   ... Roland Allen, Pentecost and the World  ... Also see comments on this book in Bookworms September 3, 2000 Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.   ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity  September 4, 2000 Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   If all you have found [in Christianity] is advantage, whether it is fun or profit or security, then you haven't started following Him yet. His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I Love to play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57633]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I Love to play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Profitability doesn't happen when you're walking on bullshit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Profitability doesn't happen when you're walking on bullshit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54268]]></link><description><![CDATA[I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is great literature and great religious literature, this collection of ancient writings we call the Bible, and any translator ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is great literature and great religious literature, this collection of ancient writings we call the Bible, and any translator has a deep sense of responsibility as he undertakes to transmit it to modern readers. He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61610]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of love is seeking variety in your life together, and never letting routine chords dull the melody of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25783]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of love is seeking variety in your life together, and never letting routine chords dull the melody of your romance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God promises a safe landing but not a calm passage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48394]]></link><description><![CDATA[God promises a safe landing but not a calm passage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Venezuela is privileged to be able to help the United States in this time of need, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Venezuela is privileged to be able to help the United States in this time of need,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been in love, and in debt, and in drink, this many and many a year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14578]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been in love, and in debt, and in drink, this many and many a year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A "Bay Area Bisexual" told me I didn't quite coincide witheither of her desires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22752]]></link><description><![CDATA[A "Bay Area Bisexual" told me I didn't quite coincide witheither of her desires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He does not possess wealth that allows it to possess him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61461]]></link><description><![CDATA[He does not possess wealth that allows it to possess him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When stars are in the quiet skies, Then most I pine for thee;  Bend on me then thy tender ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57819]]></link><description><![CDATA[When stars are in the quiet skies, Then most I pine for thee;  Bend on me then thy tender eyes,   As stars look on the sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6123]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All (three species) were able to be found in one place, proving that evolution is a fact.
