Has it not been those who believed in you? Perhaps there may be few such left. The light of expectation may have died out of the most friendly and hopeful eyes; and you yourself may have lost heart. Ah! but there is still One whose faith in you has never wavered. And how wonderful it is that that one should be Jesus Christ!... It was a wonderful dream God dreamed, Christ says, when He created you; it was a stately being that was in His mind when you were fashioned; and I can make you all He meant that you should be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can you forget the last two weeks of deliberations and pretend they never happened.

Let us say that man is the kind of creature who naturally sees the world from a very limited perspective, that he tends to be self-centered and to prefer the interests that are closest to himself and to his own social group. Let us say that man is naturally unwilling to accept his limited or finite status, that he is always seeking to extend his control over others, that he seeks to maintain his own security by means of power over all who may threaten it, that he likes to be in a position to compare himself with others to their disadvantage, that he seeks to be self-sufficient and to deny in effect his dependence upon God and to set up his own group or system or ideal in the place of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Michael & All Angels    The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Michael & All Angels    The Law cuts into the core of the evil, it reveals the seat of the malady, and informs us that the leprosy lies deep within.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writers seldom write the things they think.
