We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's destiny is alwayes dark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49057]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's destiny is alwayes dark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will have a lot of new faces in the mix.

It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ... Friedrich von Schiller  September 8, 2000   Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will-he willbe sure to repent it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22761]]></link><description><![CDATA[As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will-he willbe sure to repent it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Labour itself is but a sorrowful song, The protest of the weak against the strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Labour itself is but a sorrowful song, The protest of the weak against the strong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Personality is to a man what perfume is to a flower. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46211]]></link><description><![CDATA[Personality is to a man what perfume is to a flower.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All gold and silver rather turn to dirt, An 'tis no better reckoned but of these  Who worship dirty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61423]]></link><description><![CDATA[All gold and silver rather turn to dirt, An 'tis no better reckoned but of these  Who worship dirty gods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is much easier to show compassion to animals.
