If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or soar aloft to be the spangled skies And gaze upon her with a thousand eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or soar aloft to be the spangled skies And gaze upon her with a thousand eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57833</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[Who loves me loves my dog. [Lat., Qui m'aime il aime mon chien.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who loves me loves my dog. [Lat., Qui m'aime il aime mon chien.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, the triathlon must have taken Him completely by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17664]]></link><description><![CDATA[If God invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, the triathlon must have taken Him completely by surprise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have all types, and we have all ages. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38529]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have all types, and we have all ages.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think of your forefathers!
