Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resolved: never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resolved: never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good rest is half the work. -Yugoslav Proverb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1037]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good rest is half the work. -Yugoslav Proverb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A stone in a well is not lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49079]]></link><description><![CDATA[A stone in a well is not lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A vocabulary of truth and simplicity will be of service throughout your life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56332]]></link><description><![CDATA[A vocabulary of truth and simplicity will be of service throughout your life]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every crowd has a silver lining. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every crowd has a silver lining.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories; those that don't work, those that break down and those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories; those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confidence is a lot of this game or any game.

So burdened were men with their wickedness that they seemed rather to be brute beasts than reasonable men, reflecting the very likeness of the Word. What, then, was God to do? What else could He possibly do, being God, but renew His Image in mankind, so that through it men might once more come to know Him? And how could this be done save by the coming of the very Image Himself, our Savior Jesus Christ?... Men had turned from the contemplation of God above, and were looking for Him in two opposite directions, down among created things, and things of sense. The Savior of us all, the Word of God, in His great love took to Himself a body and moved as Man among men, meeting their senses, so to speak, half-way. He became Himself an object for the senses, so that those who were seeking God in sensible things might apprehend the Father through the works which He, the Word of God, did in the body.
