He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. (Continued tomorrow)   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 2, 2000 Feast of All Souls   In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign -- that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality.   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 3, 2000 Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   People make mistakes when they believe. They may even want something so badly that passion creates its own evidences. Reprehensible though these habits are, they nonetheless fall within the pale of man's general effort to conform the self to things as they are. But when a person acknowledges the deficiency of evidences and yet goes right on believing, he defends a position that is large with the elements of its own destruction. Any brand of inanity can be defended on such a principle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mind unemployed is mind un-enjoyed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mind unemployed is mind un-enjoyed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it is obvious that people repeat acts that are shown on the television or the screen and I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41261]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it is obvious that people repeat acts that are shown on the television or the screen and I wouldn't want to inspire any violence on anyone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only real failure in life is the failure to try. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14903]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only real failure in life is the failure to try.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the fragrant lack of practicality that makes high-heeled shoes so fascinating: in terms of static mechanics they induce ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21046]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the fragrant lack of practicality that makes high-heeled shoes so fascinating: in terms of static mechanics they induce a sort of insecurity which some find titillating.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is great love, there are always wishes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is great love, there are always wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The one thing over which you have absolute control is your own thoughts.

Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex is like snow...
