Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is that virtue of the soul which is distributive according to desert. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice is that virtue of the soul which is distributive according to desert.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The International Brigades and the British volunteers were, numerically, only a small part of the Republican forces, but nearly all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30175]]></link><description><![CDATA[The International Brigades and the British volunteers were, numerically, only a small part of the Republican forces, but nearly all had accepted the need for organization and order in civilian life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't get to choose how you're going to die.
