It is the untroubled that are in danger. Trouble in itself is always a claim on love, and God is love. He must deny Himself if He does not come to help the helpless. It is the prisoners, and the blind, and the leper, and the possessed, and the hungry, and the tempest-tossed, who are His special care. Therefore if you are lost and sick and bound, you are just in the place where He can meet you. Blessed are the mourners. They shall be comforted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate is what happens to you when your luck runs out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate is what happens to you when your luck runs out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   Our critical day is not the very day of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   Our critical day is not the very day of our death, but the whole course of our life; I thank him, that prays for me when my bell tolls; but I thank him much more, that catechizes me, or preaches to me, or instructs me how to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Huntsman and the FishermanA huntsman, returning with his dogs from the field, fell in by chance with a Fisherman ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1596]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Huntsman and the FishermanA huntsman, returning with his dogs from the field, fell in by chance with a Fisherman who was bringing home a basket well laden with fish. The Huntsman wished to have the fish, and their owner experienced an equal longing for the contents of the game-bag. They quickly agreed to exchange the produce of their day's sport. Each was so well pleased with his bargain that they made for some time the same exchange day after day. Finally a neighbor said to them, If you go on in this way, you will soon destroy by frequent use the pleasure of your exchange, and each will again wish to retain the fruits of his own sport. Abstain and enjoy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without an element of the obscene there can be no true and deep aesthetic or moral conception of life...It is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without an element of the obscene there can be no true and deep aesthetic or moral conception of life...It is only the great men who are truly obscene.

For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sense of the value of time--that is, of the best way to divide one's time into one's various activities--is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13620]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sense of the value of time--that is, of the best way to divide one's time into one's various activities--is an essential preliminary to efficient work; it is the only method of avoiding hurry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes.
