There is a multitude of these things wherever people live together. Nobody is too good for the meanest service...   We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us people with claims and petitions. We may pass them by, preoccupied with our more important tasks, as the priest passed by the man who had fallen among thieves, perhaps -- reading the Bible. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised athwart our path to show us that not our way, but God's way must be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality confronts man with a great many "musts," but all of them are conditional; the formula of realistic necessity is: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality confronts man with a great many "musts," but all of them are conditional; the formula of realistic necessity is: "You must, if " and the "if" stands for man's choice]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[, The Hidden Power of the Heart Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating.

We see more clearly than often has been the case that ecclesiology and christology are one. The ekklesia, the community of believers, has as its first and foremost qualification that it is that community which, as community, belongs to Christ and is in Christ, and as such is the sphere of God's salvation, redemption, and reconciliation, and of Christ's rulership. This is the archetypal reality of the Church. To see and seize this essential point is a great blessing. This blessing, however, could as well become a curse, if it remained a theme of theological meditation and self-contemplation. This new knowledge is not real knowledge if it is not accompanied by a horror about the alienation of the empirical Church from its own fundamental reality and by a deep longing for a tangible manifestation of the Church's true nature. This horror and this longing are the deeper motives which are operating in many of the events and passionate discussions around the place and responsibility of the laity as an organic part of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You mean in the state? (when asked if he felt his team should be ranked in the Top Twenty this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57618]]></link><description><![CDATA[You mean in the state? (when asked if he felt his team should be ranked in the Top Twenty this season)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone is born a genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone is born a genius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be bowed by grief is folly; Naught is gained by melancholy; Better than the pain of thinking, Is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28748]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be bowed by grief is folly; Naught is gained by melancholy; Better than the pain of thinking, Is to steep the sense in drinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28095]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money will say more in one moment than the most eloquent lover can in years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a boss and a leader: a boss says, 'Go!' -a leader says, 'Let's go!'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5077]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a boss and a leader: a boss says, 'Go!' -a leader says, 'Let's go!'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary  Continuing a short series on prayer:  The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary  Continuing a short series on prayer:  The life of prayer is just love to God, and the custom of being ever with Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[RECREATION, n.

I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one teaches, two learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63888]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one teaches, two learn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're really serious about it and if you want your gear to last, you need to spend more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38488]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're really serious about it and if you want your gear to last, you need to spend more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2862]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our envy of others devours us most of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our envy of others devours us most of all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously.
