Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before the curing of a strong disease, Even in the instant of repair and health,  The fit is strongest. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Before the curing of a strong disease, Even in the instant of repair and health,  The fit is strongest.

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Throwing sand into the wheels of deeper international economic integration in order to reduce adjustment costs, as contemplated by some, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Throwing sand into the wheels of deeper international economic integration in order to reduce adjustment costs, as contemplated by some, is not an attractive option.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us permit nature to have her way.
