Let us admit that it is part of the fallen human nature of ecclesiastics, no less than of others in responsible positions, to desire always criteria of judgement which can be used without making too heavy demands upon the delicate faculty of spiritual discernment, clear-cut rules by which we may hope to be saved from making mistakes -- or rather, from being obviously and personally responsible for the mistakes. We are uncomfortable without definite principles by which we may guide our steps. We fear uncharted country, and the fanatics of all kinds who, upon the alleged authority of the Holy Spirit, summon us with strident cries in all directions simultaneously. Only those who have never borne the heavy burden of pastoral responsibility will mock at the cautious spirit of the ecclesiastic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With these qualities, we can achieve revival and bounce back stronger than ever before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40868]]></link><description><![CDATA[With these qualities, we can achieve revival and bounce back stronger than ever before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . in all our efforts to provide "advantages" we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17239]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . in all our efforts to provide "advantages" we have actually produced the busiest, most competitive, highly pressured and over-organized generation of youngsters in our history and possibly the unhappiest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When 100+ CEOs from top companies from around the world are on the wait list, that is 'stress!'

It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength, before going out to face the world again. "The thoughtful soul to solitude retires," said the poet of other and quieter times; but where is the solitude to which we can retire today? "Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still," is a wise and healing counsel; but how can it be followed in this day of the newspaper, the telephone, the radio and television? These modern playthings, like pet tiger cubs, have grown so large and dangerous that they threaten to devour us all. What was intended to be a blessing has become a positive curse. No spot is now safe from the world's intrusion. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. What the world will do about it is their problem. Apparently the masses want it the way it is, and the majority of Christians are so completely conformed to this present age that they, too, want things the way they are. They may be annoyed a bit by the clamor and by the goldfish-bowl existence they live, but apparently they are not annoyed enough to do anything about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a pleasure, sure, In being mad, which none but madmen know! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21010]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a pleasure, sure, In being mad, which none but madmen know!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13672]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nice thing about egotists is that they don't talk about other people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise men make more opportunities than they find. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise men make more opportunities than they find.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2581]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12267]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To say "I love you" one must first be able to say the "I." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63259]]></link><description><![CDATA[To say "I love you" one must first be able to say the "I."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63259</guid></item></channel></rss>
