A whole life long didst thou suffer that I too might be saved; and yet thy suffering is not yet at an end; but this too wilt thou endure, saving and redeeming me, this patient suffering of having to do with me, I who so often go astray from the right path, or even when I remained on the straight path stumbled along it or crept so slowly along the right path. Infinite patience, suffering of infinite patience. How many times have I not been impatient, wished to give up and forsake everything; wished to take the terribly easy way out, despair: but thou didst not lose patience. Oh, I cannot say what thy chosen servant says: that he filled up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in his flesh; no, I can only say that I increased thy sufferings, added new ones to those which thou didst once suffer in order to save me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I am at Rome I fast as the Romans do; when I am at Milan I do not fast. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54394]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I am at Rome I fast as the Romans do; when I am at Milan I do not fast.

The complete professionalization of a priestly ministry largely eliminated laymen from direct evangelism and robbed them of the missionary spirit, since they were not to be trusted to teach and could not validly administer the saving symbols. The reliance on organization and ceremonial grace, along with the growing concept of the representative relation of the Pope on earth to the Christ in heaven, involved a practical ignoring of the Holy Spirit as the divinely ordained Counterpart of the Christ and the informing soul of the Church... The vast territorial extent of Christianity and the very general ignorance of world geography made it possible for Christians to lose sight of the non-Christian world and to feel, even if somewhat vaguely, that the Christian task was complete, so far as its world occupation was concerned. The Mohammedan growth had encircled the Christian territories. The relations between Christendom and the Mohammedan world fostered anything else than a spirit of helpfulness and a disposition to give the blessings of the one to the other. Christian information about the heathen world was largely cut off by... Mohammedanism; and in order to reach the heathen, missionaries would have to make their way through Mohammedan territory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The body is a community made up of its innumerable cells orinhabitants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21248]]></link><description><![CDATA[The body is a community made up of its innumerable cells orinhabitants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hollywood wants press, any kind of press. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hollywood wants press, any kind of press.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words,— Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55966]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words,— Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,— Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered. -King Henry V.
