We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Superstition is the religion of feeble minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11735]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...

I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobly he yokes A smiling with a sigh, as if the sigh  Was that it was for not being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56686]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobly he yokes A smiling with a sigh, as if the sigh  Was that it was for not being such a smile;   The smile mocking the sigh that it would fly    From so divine a temple to commix     With winds that sailors rail at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age come on apace to ravage all the clime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1713]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age come on apace to ravage all the clime.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where McGregor sits, there is the head of the table. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where McGregor sits, there is the head of the table.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is appropriate here to recall that the so-called Dark Ages began with the flight of the individuals into the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56958]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is appropriate here to recall that the so-called Dark Ages began with the flight of the individuals into the protection of lords or chapters and came to an end when the individual again found it to his advantage to set forth on his own.
