Take not from me Thy Holy Spirit, but grant that I may redeem the time lost, and that by temperance and diligence, by sincere repentance and faithful obedience I may finally attain everlasting happiness, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Debt is the fatal disease of republics, the first thing and the mightiest to undermine governments and corrupt the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Debt is the fatal disease of republics, the first thing and the mightiest to undermine governments and corrupt the people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, great.

In that sense God is not omnipotent: He is limited by His own nature, by His perfect goodness and mercy; for the omnipotence of God means nothing apart from His Fatherly love. In particular, this limitation of the power of God is to be found in the measure of freedom which, as His children, we enjoy. God shares His power with us so that, for a time at least, if we so determine, we can break His laws and frustrate His plans, but also so that we can give to Him, if we choose, the free allegiance of our hearts and minds, and become children at His Family Table, drawn together by the compulsion of His love, and not the exercise of His might.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See! from the brake the whirring pheasant springs, And mounts exulting on triumphant wings:  Short is his joy; he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46449]]></link><description><![CDATA[See! from the brake the whirring pheasant springs, And mounts exulting on triumphant wings:  Short is his joy; he feels the fiery wound,   Flutters in blood, and panting beats the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who letwell enough alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22667]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has never been a statue erected to the memory of someone who letwell enough alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In America the geography is sublime, but the men are not; the inventions are excellent, but the inventors one is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17371]]></link><description><![CDATA[In America the geography is sublime, but the men are not; the inventions are excellent, but the inventors one is sometimes ashamed of.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Labor disgraces no man, but occasionally men disgrace labor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Labor disgraces no man, but occasionally men disgrace labor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The days of rejoicing are gone forever. [Fr., Ils sont passes ces jours de fete.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45673]]></link><description><![CDATA[The days of rejoicing are gone forever. [Fr., Ils sont passes ces jours de fete.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901  The idea of "conviction" is complex.

It involves the concepts of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another places the truth of the case in dispute in a clear light before him, so that it must be seen and acknowledged as truth. He who then rejects the conclusion which the exposition involves, rejects it with his eyes open and at his peril. Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The voice of the majority is no proof of justice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26206]]></link><description><![CDATA[The voice of the majority is no proof of justice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the labourer is worthy of his hire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48578]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the labourer is worthy of his hire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live TV died in the late 1950s, electronic bulletin boards came along in the mid-1980s, meaning there was about a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9435]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live TV died in the late 1950s, electronic bulletin boards came along in the mid-1980s, meaning there was about a 25-year gap when it was difficult to put your foot in your mouth and have people all across the country know about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7333]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540   Visit, I beseech thee, O Lord, this habitation with thy mercy, and me with thy grace and salvation.
