Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give us the victory, Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The delicate thing about the university is that it has a mixed character, that it is suspended between its position ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60248]]></link><description><![CDATA[The delicate thing about the university is that it has a mixed character, that it is suspended between its position in the eternal world, with all its corruption and evils and cruelties, and the splendid world of our imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47227]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve.

The only evidence of election is therefore vocation, and the only evidence of vocation, is holiness of heart and life, for we are called into the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Compare again Romans 8:29, where believers are said to be "predestinated to be conformed to the image of his Son." To this they are effectually called. They are made like Christ. Fellowship includes union and communion. We are called to be partakers of Christ; partakers of his life, as members of his body; and herefore, partakers of his character, of his sufferings here and of his glory hereafter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906  The Church has no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906  The Church has no mission of its own. All we can have by ourselves is a club or a debating society; and our only hope, left to ourselves, is to win as many members for our own club and away from other clubs as we can. And whatever this is, it is not Mission. Mission belongs to God. The Mission was His from the beginning; it is His; it will always be His. He has His purposes from the foundation of the world, and the means to fulfill them; and the only part the Church has in this is obedience -- a share in the eternal and life-giving obedience of the Son of God... And the most terrible judgment on the Church comes when God leaves us to our own devices because He is tired of waiting for our obedience -- leaves us to be the domestic chaplains to a comfortable secular world -- and goes Himself into the wilderness of human need and injustice and pain. This judgment does come on churches and nations, when they forget that God is in command, that He does the choosing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet 'em on your way down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet 'em on your way down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19124]]></link><description><![CDATA[But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The perfect church service,would be one we were almost unaware of.Our attention would have been on God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8655]]></link><description><![CDATA[The perfect church service,would be one we were almost unaware of.Our attention would have been on God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shall I ask the brave soldier, who fights by my side In the cause of mankind, if our creeds agree? ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12637]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shall I ask the brave soldier, who fights by my side In the cause of mankind, if our creeds agree?  Shall I give up the friend I have valued and tried,   If he kneel not before the same altar with me?    From the heretic girl of my soul should I fly,     To seek somewhere else a more orthodox kiss?      No! perish the hearts, and the laws that try       Truth, valour, or love, by a standard like this!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66561]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in either of them: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adam, well may we labour, still to dress This garden, still to tend plant, herb, and flower. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adam, well may we labour, still to dress This garden, still to tend plant, herb, and flower.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that serves, must serve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49394]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that serves, must serve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is born a fool is never cured ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16364]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is born a fool is never cured]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mohammed was not an apparent failure.
