Let us not think of it vaguely, and fall into the heretical fancy that the Son of God became man merely to transact certain things which were necessary to secure the salvation of men, and that after this object was achieved His human nature recedes into the background and impenetrable obscurity. No, it is not so; all-important as His work on earth was -- the only foundation of our hope and blessedness -- let us adore the revealed mystery that God gave us His Son, never to recall Him, as it were, and take Him away from us; He spared Him not and gave Him to us, allowing Him to become man, exalting Him as the Son of Man, enthroning Him because of his obedience unto death, and giving unto Him as the Son of Man all power in heaven and earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A beau is one who arranges his curled locks gracefully, who ever smells of balm, and cinnamon; who hums the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16423]]></link><description><![CDATA[A beau is one who arranges his curled locks gracefully, who ever smells of balm, and cinnamon; who hums the songs of the Nile, and Cadiz; who throws his sleek arms into various attitudes; who idles away the whole day among the chair of the ladies, and is ever whispering into some one's ear; who reads little billets-doux from this quarter and that, and writes them in return; who avoids ruffling his dress by contact with his neighbour's sleeve, who knows with whom everybody is in love; who flutters from feast to feast, who can recount exactly the pedigree of Hirpinus.

The Mother coming up, and missing one of her sons, inquired of his brothers what had become of him. He is dead, dear Mother; for just now a very huge beast with four great feet came to the pool and crushed him to death with his cloven heel. The Frog, puffing herself out, inquired, if the beast was as big as that in size. Cease, Mother, to puff yourself out, said her son, and do not be angry; for you would, I assure you, sooner burst than successfully imitate the hugeness of that monster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one in the world can take the place of your mother.

That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe. You are no longer working against the grain of the universe; you're working with it... You have been forgiven by God and now you can forgive yourself. All self hate, self-despising, self-rejection, drop away, and you accept yourself in God, respect yourself, and love yourself... You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really hoping that everyone can stay healthy, ... because I feel that we have a team and a nucleus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38373]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm really hoping that everyone can stay healthy, ... because I feel that we have a team and a nucleus that really can get us to where we want to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I pick my favourite quotations and store them in my mind as ready armour, offensive or defensive, amid the struggle ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52841]]></link><description><![CDATA[I pick my favourite quotations and store them in my mind as ready armour, offensive or defensive, amid the struggle of this turbulent existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My situation is a solemn one.

And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the man who crosses the river at night knows the value of the light of day ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the man who crosses the river at night knows the value of the light of day]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me matter, and I will construct a world out of it! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me matter, and I will construct a world out of it!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22643]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something.
