But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rose and the thorn, and sorrow and gladness are linked together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10038]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rose and the thorn, and sorrow and gladness are linked together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[States that rise quickly, just as all the other things of nature that are born and grow rapidly, cannot have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43715]]></link><description><![CDATA[States that rise quickly, just as all the other things of nature that are born and grow rapidly, cannot have roots and ramifications; the first bad weather kills them]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best reason I can think of for not running for President of the United States is that you have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47114]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best reason I can think of for not running for President of the United States is that you have to shave twice a day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What will you put in the stockingof the Baby Jesus?screenwriter of The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant, LorettaYoung, and David's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17276]]></link><description><![CDATA[What will you put in the stockingof the Baby Jesus?screenwriter of The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant, LorettaYoung, and David's Niven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You study, you learn, but you guard the original naivete.

It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ...

We have literally no time to sit down and ask ourselves whether so-and-so is our neighbor or not. We must get into action and obey -- we must behave like a neighbor to him. But perhaps this shocks you. Perhaps you still think you ought to think out beforehand and know what you ought to do. To that, there is only one answer. You can only know and think about it by actually doing it. It is no use asking questions; for it is only through obedience that you come to learn the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can I be expected to believe that this same racial discrimination which has been the cause of so much ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12468]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can I be expected to believe that this same racial discrimination which has been the cause of so much injustice and suffering right through the years, should now operate here to give me a fair and open trial?....consider myself neither morally nor legally obliged to obey laws made by a Parliament in which I am not represented.
