Sir Isaac Newton July 15, 2000 Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  There is no such thing as a post-Christian society. One generation may reject the Gospel itself, but it cannot reject it for future generations.  ... Luis Palau July 16, 2000 Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  The glory of God is a living man; and the life of man consists in beholding God.  ... Irenaeus July 17, 2000  The discussion of prayer is so great that it requires the Father to reveal it, His firstborn Word to teach it, and the Spirit to enable us to think and speak rightly of so great a subject.  ... Origen July 18, 2000  Jesus is our mouth, through which we speak to the Father; He is our eye, through which we see the Father; He is our right hand through which we offer ourselves to the Father. Unless He intercedes, there is no intercourse with God.  ... St. Ambrose July 19, 2000Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379  Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.  ... St. John Chrysostom July 20, 2000 Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  Of course, it all depends upon what we are praying for. If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Certainty is the mother of quiet and repose, and uncertainty the cause of variance and contentions]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sad soul can kill you quicker than a germ. -John Steinbeck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18966]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sad soul can kill you quicker than a germ. -John Steinbeck.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47567]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The number of voters in Iraq's 18 provinces reached 9,784,954 from the total of 15,568,702 registered, for a turnout rate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34845]]></link><description><![CDATA[The number of voters in Iraq's 18 provinces reached 9,784,954 from the total of 15,568,702 registered, for a turnout rate of 63.78 percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast commanded, and so it is, that every inordinate affection should be its own punishment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8457]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hast commanded, and so it is, that every inordinate affection should be its own punishment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were attempting to put on Raimant from naked bodies won. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2734]]></link><description><![CDATA[They were attempting to put on Raimant from naked bodies won.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're a specialty store, so we try and bring in the stuff that no one else has or that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36532]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're a specialty store, so we try and bring in the stuff that no one else has or that is hard to find.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63935]]></link><description><![CDATA[My friend is he who will tell me my faults in private.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hate is such a luxurious emotion, it can only be spent on one we love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hate is such a luxurious emotion, it can only be spent on one we love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56637]]></link><description><![CDATA[To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945   The very strength and facility of the pessimists' ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ini Kopuria, Founder of the Melanesian Brotherhood, 1945   The very strength and facility of the pessimists' case at once poses us a problem. If the universe is so bad, or even half so bad, how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator? Men are fools, perhaps; but hardly so foolish as that. The direct inference from black to white, from evil flower to virtuous root, from senseless work to a workman infinitely wise, staggers belief. The spectacle of the universe as revealed by experience can never have been the ground of religion: it must have always been something in spite of which religion, acquired from a different source, was held.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that hath a head of waxe must not walke in the sunne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49344]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that hath a head of waxe must not walke in the sunne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Molly kept house for him when she was older.

You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Miss Piggy to Johnny Carson.. do you think I am Oscar material?Johnny Carson: Oscar Mayer maybeNBC Tonight Show writershttp://www.mad-cow.org. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Miss Piggy to Johnny Carson.. do you think I am Oscar material?Johnny Carson: Oscar Mayer maybeNBC Tonight Show writershttp://www.mad-cow.org.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberty and order will never be perfectly safe, until a trespass on the constitutional provisions for either, shall be felt ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45255]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberty and order will never be perfectly safe, until a trespass on the constitutional provisions for either, shall be felt with the same keenness that resents an invasion of the dearest rights.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're all proud of making little mistakes.
