If I were to give it to you, you would think yourself of some importance, you would fancy that you had gained something very great. Because you asked for it, you have it. But take care to make good use of it. Before you had it, you were humble; now that you have begun to be rich you despise the poor. What kind of a good is that which only makes you worse? For worse you are, since you were bad already. And that it would make you worse you knew not; hence you asked it of Me. I gave it to you, and I proved you; you have found -- and you have found out! Ask of Me better things than these, greater things than these. Ask of Me spiritual things. Ask of Me Myself!".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're kind of embarrassed when you lose like that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31082]]></link><description><![CDATA[You're kind of embarrassed when you lose like that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  You must not lose confidence in God because you lost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  You must not lose confidence in God because you lost confidence in your pastor.

But this tension is not something that concerns the Church and the world as though they are things which exist outside us and apart from us, which we can consider and observe and discuss and have theories about. The tension between the Church and the world exists within us and is the very fiber of our being, and neither the one nor the other is superficial or trivial. For we are, all of us, of the earth, earthy; and we are also baptized members of Christ and His Church. It is precisely because we belong to two worlds that our lives consist in insecurity -- that we are, in fact, a drama, the final act of which, the judgement of reward or punishment, heaven or hell, is hidden from us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things don't go wrong, they simply happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44259]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things don't go wrong, they simply happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action is the real measure of intelligence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/465]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action is the real measure of intelligence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mankind has survived all catastrophes.

Examples could be multiplied. This type of service is a great witness to the reality of Christian life and faith; but it presupposes a spirit of fellowship within the Church, a spirit which is all too rare. It means that there is mutual respect and trust between the minister and the members of his Church; and a spirit of fellowship which is outward-looking and which issues in service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We feel fortunate to get out of here with a victory.
