Let us admit that it is part of the fallen human nature of ecclesiastics, no less than of others in responsible positions, to desire always criteria of judgement which can be used without making too heavy demands upon the delicate faculty of spiritual discernment, clear-cut rules by which we may hope to be saved from making mistakes -- or rather, from being obviously and personally responsible for the mistakes. We are uncomfortable without definite principles by which we may guide our steps. We fear uncharted country, and the fanatics of all kinds who, upon the alleged authority of the Holy Spirit, summon us with strident cries in all directions simultaneously. Only those who have never borne the heavy burden of pastoral responsibility will mock at the cautious spirit of the ecclesiastic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A film is a petrified fountain of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43358]]></link><description><![CDATA[A film is a petrified fountain of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was indeed the glass Wherein the noble youth did dress themselves. -King Henry IV.

And every human heart that breaks,  In prison-cell or yard, Is as that broken box that gave  Its treasure to the Lord, And filled the unclean leper's house  With the scent of costliest nard. Ah! happy they whose hearts can break  And peace of pardon win! How else may man make straight his plan  And cleanse his soul from sin? How else but through a broken heart  May Lord Christ enter in?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Old Woman and the PhysicianAn old woman having lost the use of her eyes, called in a Physician to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Old Woman and the PhysicianAn old woman having lost the use of her eyes, called in a Physician to heal them, and made this bargain with him in the presence of witnesses: that if he should cure her blindness, he should receive from her a sum of money; but if her infirmity remained, she should give him nothing. This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world needs anger.
