He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. (Continued tomorrow)   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 2, 2000 Feast of All Souls   In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign -- that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality.   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 3, 2000 Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   People make mistakes when they believe. They may even want something so badly that passion creates its own evidences. Reprehensible though these habits are, they nonetheless fall within the pale of man's general effort to conform the self to things as they are. But when a person acknowledges the deficiency of evidences and yet goes right on believing, he defends a position that is large with the elements of its own destruction. Any brand of inanity can be defended on such a principle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is not a virtue or value among other personal values like love or fidelity.

As he was wandering about there he came upon aLion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee,but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back andwent up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, whichwas all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a hugethorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulledout the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon ableto rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Liontook Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meatfrom which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and theLion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown tothe Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for severaldays. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle,and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon theLion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaringtowards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles herecognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his handslike a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summonedAndrocles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon theslave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his nativeforest.Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There should be no strife with the vanquished or the dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51830]]></link><description><![CDATA[There should be no strife with the vanquished or the dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better a living beggar than a buried emperor. [Fr., Mieux vaut goujat debout qu'empereur enterre.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3925]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better a living beggar than a buried emperor. [Fr., Mieux vaut goujat debout qu'empereur enterre.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is three parts love and seven parts forgiveness of sins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is three parts love and seven parts forgiveness of sins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I met with [Robert Furniss, director of Parking and Transportation] last week...and it's a very complicated issue.

To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to be a writer-stop talking about it and sit down and write!. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22194]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to be a writer-stop talking about it and sit down and write!.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh the brave Fisher's life, It is the best of any,  'Tis full of pleasure, void of strife,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh the brave Fisher's life, It is the best of any,  'Tis full of pleasure, void of strife,   And 'tis belov'd of many:    Other joys Are but toys;     Only this Lawful is,      For our skill Breeds no ill,       But content and pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Early, bright, transient, chaste, as morning dew She sparkled, was exhal'd, and went to heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51871]]></link><description><![CDATA[Early, bright, transient, chaste, as morning dew She sparkled, was exhal'd, and went to heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51871</guid></item></channel></rss>
