But once, in the heart of an angry crowd, their enthusiasm soured suddenly into a growling muttering. He applied it confidently to a man who, under the inspiration of His friendship, had broken with his sorry past and his old selfish, unclean ways, and was doing what he could to put things right. Now that, He said, is what I call a saved man. Very solemnly He tells us that on the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked the questions we are expecting, but others that will puzzle and startle us. Those folk on the left hand were, as far as we hear, respectable folk; their business books were straight, their home life was kindly, they themselves were clean-living men and women: nothing whatever is laid to their charge excepting this, that they lived in a world needing their help and were too absorbed in something -- what it was, we are not told; it may have been their souls -- to give what aid they could.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fighting Words: The Origins of Religious Violence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fighting Words: The Origins of Religious Violence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God of our fathers, who by land and sea have ever lead us to victory, please continue your inspiring guidance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27461]]></link><description><![CDATA[God of our fathers, who by land and sea have ever lead us to victory, please continue your inspiring guidance in this the greatest of all conflicts. Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give us the victory, Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are worse things in life than death.

That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and his desires, without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, "Thou art my refuge, because Thou art my home". Such a faith will not lead to presumption. The man who can pray such a prayer will know better than another that God is not mocked; that He is not a man that He should repent; that tears and entreaties will not work on Him to the breach of one of His laws; that for God to give a man, because he asked for it, that which was not in harmony with His laws of truth and right, would be to damn him -- to cast him into the outer darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So long as he wears the name tags. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34600]]></link><description><![CDATA[So long as he wears the name tags.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I certainly made mistakes, for which I regret, I think most human beings in their lifetime make mistakes, mine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37725]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I certainly made mistakes, for which I regret, I think most human beings in their lifetime make mistakes, mine ended up in two years prison - two very remarkable years from which I learnt a lot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each generation must go further than the last or what's the use in it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each generation must go further than the last or what's the use in it?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   While extremely sensitive as to the slightest approach to slander, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   While extremely sensitive as to the slightest approach to slander, you must also guard against an extreme into which some people fall who, in their desire to speak evil of no one, actually uphold and speak well of vice. If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope they find (whoever is responsible) in the next 24 hours, so I can get rid of them.
