Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Perpetua, Felicity & their Companions, Martyrs at Carthage, 203  God in His providence has not allowed the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Perpetua, Felicity & their Companions, Martyrs at Carthage, 203  God in His providence has not allowed the survival of actual physical objects. But we have infinitely more than this, for instead of dead relics, however "authentic" and well preserved, we have a living life-line, stretching unbroken to Christ Himself. We have all the comfort and security that comes from historic tradition, but instead of being given the sad nostalgia of looking at an object and saying, "Look, how wonderful! This is what He touched then," we are given an evergreen memorial [in communion] which says, "This is what He touches now.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no other but a woman's reason: I think him so, because I think him so. -The Two Gentleman ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55329]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no other but a woman's reason: I think him so, because I think him so. -The Two Gentleman of Verona.
