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.   ... Friedrich von Schiller  September 8, 2000   Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ten day ago I drowned these news in tears; And now, to add more measure to your woes,  I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ten day ago I drowned these news in tears; And now, to add more measure to your woes,  I come to tell you things sith then befallen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no exemption for Germany, and we will consider the case, as well as the French case, later, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38000]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no exemption for Germany, and we will consider the case, as well as the French case, later,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mad let us grant him them, and now remains That we find out the cause of this effect--  Or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5355]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mad let us grant him them, and now remains That we find out the cause of this effect--  Or rather say, the cause of this defect,   For this effect defective comes by cause.    Thus it remains, and the remainder thus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take the advice of a faithful friend, and submit thy inventions to his censure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take the advice of a faithful friend, and submit thy inventions to his censure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst men often give the best advice. Our deeds are sometimes better than our thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/768]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst men often give the best advice. Our deeds are sometimes better than our thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A couple of years ago, I called Dave up to write some songs.
