Let the princes hear and be afraid. But we must, in the meantime, be very careful not to despise or violate that authority of magistrates, full of venerable majesty, which God has established by the weightiest decrees, even though it may reside with the most unworthy men, who defile it as much as they can with their own wickedness. For, if the correction of unbridled despotism is the Lord's to avenge, let us not at once think that it is entrusted to us, to whom no command has been given except to obey and suffer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Methought little space 'tween those hills intervened, But nearer,--more lofty,--more shaggy they seemed.  The clouds o'er their summits they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Methought little space 'tween those hills intervened, But nearer,--more lofty,--more shaggy they seemed.  The clouds o'er their summits they calmly did rest,   And hung on the ether's invisible breast;    Than the vapours of earth they seemed purer, more bright,--     Oh! could they be clouds?

True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out every day. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town, and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then.

The crimes of Caligula shrink to insignificance compared to the havoc wrought by Torquemada. The number of victims of robbers, highwaymen, rapists, gangsters and other criminals at any period of history is negligible compared to the massive numbers of those cheerfully slain in the name of the true religion, just policy, or correct ideology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day. Now spurs the lated traveller apace  To gain the timely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20998]]></link><description><![CDATA[The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day. Now spurs the lated traveller apace  To gain the timely inn, and near approaches   The subject of our watch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nay, if he take you in hand, sir, with an argument, He'll bray you in a mortar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nay, if he take you in hand, sir, with an argument, He'll bray you in a mortar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who worship only themselves get a slick, polished look -- like monuments.

Whose is it? The clue lies in Acts 12, where St. Peter, strangely freed from Herod's prison, knows at whose house they will be gathered for prayer. He knocks, startles the gate-girl Rhoda. It was "the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark" -- the young man who was to write the earliest of the gospels. The first meeting place of any Christian congregation was the home of a woman in Jerusalem. Something of the sort happens everywhere. The church in Caesarea centres upon Philip the Evangelist. "Now this man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy." ... Joppa church depends on Tabitha, "a woman full of good works and almsdeeds which she did". Follow St. Paul about the Mediterranean. He crosses to Europe because he dreams of a man from Macedonia who cries, "Come over and help us". But when he lands at Philippi it is not a man, but a woman. "Lydia was baptized and her household" -- his first convert in Europe, a woman. Everywhere women are the most notable of the converts, often the only ones who believe. In Thessalonica there are "of the chief women not a few"; Beroea, "Greek women of honourable estate"; Athens, only two names, one of them, Damaris, a woman. At Corinth Priscilla and Aquila come into the story, the pair always mentioned together, and four times out of the six with the wife's name first, a thing undreamed of in the first century. Why? Because she counted for more in church affairs -- hostess of the church in her houses in Corinth, Ephesus and Rome, chief instructress of Apollos the missionary, intimate of the greatest missionary of all, St. Paul. Six times in the Epistles greetings are sent to a house-church, and in five cases the church is linked with a woman's name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man should be shamefaced through his work, to give back to the worlda portion of its lost heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21838]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man should be shamefaced through his work, to give back to the worlda portion of its lost heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give the world the best that you have, and the best will come back to you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give the world the best that you have, and the best will come back to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I lost my son, but at the same time I'm still a staunch supporter of the troops.
