This knowledge is good ... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." ... Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity... St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No friend's a friend till [he shall] prove a friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16750]]></link><description><![CDATA[No friend's a friend till [he shall] prove a friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cult is a religion with no political power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21713]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cult is a religion with no political power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26537]]></link><description><![CDATA[As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53173]]></link><description><![CDATA[God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's OK.

Even though much of what we have exists only as a series of ones and zeroes somewhere in the information sphere, we do get paper copies and we should hang on to those. The movie 'The Net,' I think, makes a very intriguing point, about this very computer literate protagonist who has few human connections, and this is precisely the reason she's vulnerable to the kind of attack she suffers. It seems to me that if we keep that in mind we'll be well served.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58219]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a glorious thing to be indifferent to suffering, but only to one's own suffering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All flesh is not venison. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49101]]></link><description><![CDATA[All flesh is not venison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can do anything you want me to do so long as I don't have to speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56226]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can do anything you want me to do so long as I don't have to speak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hannah will catch that ball more times than not.

He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   By constantly meditating on the goodness of God and on our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   By constantly meditating on the goodness of God and on our great deliverance from that punishment which our sins have deserved, we are brought to feel our vileness and utter unworthiness; and while we continue in this spirit of self-degradation, everything else will go on easily. We shall find ourselves advancing in our course; we shall feel the presence of God; we shall experience His love; we shall live in the enjoyment of His favour and in the hope of His glory... You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. The sigh, the groan of a broken heart, will soon go through the ceiling up to heaven, aye, into the very bosom of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence makes the heart grow fonder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence makes the heart grow fonder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can wealth give happiness? look round and see What gay distress! what splendid misery!  Whatever fortunes lavishly can pour, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can wealth give happiness? look round and see What gay distress! what splendid misery!  Whatever fortunes lavishly can pour,   The mind annihilates, and calls for more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nostalgia is like a grammar lesson: You find the present tense and the past perfect ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18121]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nostalgia is like a grammar lesson: You find the present tense and the past perfect]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9041]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness is about empowering yourself, rather than empowering your past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[it's strange to think of yourself as an only child and then suddenly find yourself with three siblings.
