I have never thought that the circumstance of God's having forgiven me was any reason why I should forgive myself; on the contrary, I have always judged it better to loathe myself the more, in proportion as I was assured that God was pacified towards me (Ezekiel 16:63).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On one issue, at least, men and women agree; they both distrust women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27226]]></link><description><![CDATA[On one issue, at least, men and women agree; they both distrust women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Justin, Martyr at Rome, c.165 Commemoration of Angela de'Merici, Founder of the Institute of St. Ursula, 1540  To make the improving of our own character our central aim is hardly the highest kind of goodness.

Yet, on the other hand, we deny, however they may be afflicted, that they ever fall and depart from that certain confidence which they have conceived in the divine mercy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miss not the discourse of the elders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57332]]></link><description><![CDATA[Miss not the discourse of the elders.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fidelity bought with money is overcome by money. [Lat., Pretio parata vincitur pretio fides.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fidelity bought with money is overcome by money. [Lat., Pretio parata vincitur pretio fides.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle  It is often said with a sneer that the God of Israel was only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Bartholomew the Apostle  It is often said with a sneer that the God of Israel was only a God of Battles, "a mere barbaric Lord of Hosts" pitted in rivalry against other gods only as their envious foe. Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better be a foole then a knave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better be a foole then a knave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ruthlessness born of self-seeking is ineffectual compared with the ruthlessness sustained by dedication to a holy cause.
