I seek for no previous information whither Thou art taking me. I will be what Thou wilt make me, and all that Thou wilt make me. I say not, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest, for I am weak, but I give myself to Thee, to lead me anywhither.   ... John Henry Newman  September 10, 2000   Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.   ... Luis Palau  September 11, 2000   Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.   ... Robert Louis Stevenson  September 12, 2000   Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[E'en his failings leaned to virtue's side. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48988]]></link><description><![CDATA[E'en his failings leaned to virtue's side.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear Ted: Thanks for the invitation to question four distinguished liberal journalists.

That's pretty unbelievable. It's definitely something I want to help him achieve. Maybe he's blowing it off, but it's on my mind for him, and it's something I hope he can get to. But I think he's just going to play his game. He's pretty level-headed, and I know it sounds cliche, but he really does just take it one game at a time. And that's good on his part just to stay focused. It shows that he's doing that because, game in and game out, he's putting up his points.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sail like my pinnace to these golden shores. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.

It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Puberty is a phase... fifteen years of rejection is a lifestyle.

The sensitive visitor to the mesas of Los Alamos is almost sure to meditate on the experience of that gifted man, Klaus Fuchs. Though his work in the laboratories was outstanding, his decision concerning the use of what he knew was disastrous. What if, in addition to his scientific competence, the younger Fuchs had shared something of the Christian conviction of his father, Emil Fuchs? Much of the subsequent history of our earth might then have been different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our body is a machine for living.
