This knowledge is good ... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." ... Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity... St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Storm water is a source of pollution, because there are pollutants in our environment that the storm water picks up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40424]]></link><description><![CDATA[Storm water is a source of pollution, because there are pollutants in our environment that the storm water picks up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem is not whether business will survive in competition with business, but whether any business will survive at all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5552]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem is not whether business will survive in competition with business, but whether any business will survive at all in the ;face of social change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep close to Nature\'s heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66618]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep close to Nature\'s heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods.

Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age is not a particularly interesting subject.
