In the winter of 1824, there set in a great flood upon that town--the tide rose to an incredible height: the waves rushed in upon the houses, and everything was threatened with destruction. In the midst of this sublime and terrible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with mop and pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Partington. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddled with a tempest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government has decided to set up 90 apni mandis at a cost of Rs 13.50 crore.

Blood and tears, deepest despair and highest hope, a passionate longing to lay hold of ... Him who overcomes the world because He is its Creator and Redeemer, its beginning and ending and lord -- a passionate longing to have the word spoken, the word which promises grace in judgment, life in death, and the beyond in the here and now, God's word -- this it is that animates our church-goers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Into God's hands let us now -- for the coming year, and for all the years of time, and for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Into God's hands let us now -- for the coming year, and for all the years of time, and for Eternity -- commend our spirits. Whether for the Church or for ourselves, let us not take ourselves into our own hands, or choose our own lot. "My times are in Thy hand." He loveth the Church, which He died to purchase, His own Body, and all the members of the Body, better than we can; He loveth us better and more wisely than we ourselves He who made us loveth us better than we who unmade ourselves; He who died for us, better than we who destroy ourselves: He who would sanctify us for a Holy Temple unto Himself, better than we who have defiled what He has hallowed. Fear we not, therefore, anything which threateneth, shrink we not back from anything which falleth on us. Rather let us, though with trembling, hold up our hearts to Him, to make them His Own, in what way He willeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   The very activities for which we were created are, while we live ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   The very activities for which we were created are, while we live on earth, variously impeded: by evil in ourselves or in others. Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taking into account the good relations between Russia and Iran, I hope that together we can overcome this crisis which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Taking into account the good relations between Russia and Iran, I hope that together we can overcome this crisis which has arisen recently.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More matter for a May morning. -Twelfth Night.

That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well does he sleep who knows not that his sleep has been broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51643]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well does he sleep who knows not that his sleep has been broken.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sermon on a hat: "'The hat, my boy, the hat, whatever it may be, is in itself nothing--makes nothing, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18889]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sermon on a hat: "'The hat, my boy, the hat, whatever it may be, is in itself nothing--makes nothing, goes for nothing; but, be sure of it, everything is life depends upon the cock of the hat.'

Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us.
