If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good memory is needed once we have lied. [Fr., Il faut bonne memoire apres qu'on a menti.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26118]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good memory is needed once we have lied. [Fr., Il faut bonne memoire apres qu'on a menti.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never tell one client that I cannot attend his sales convention because I have a previous engagement with another ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8879]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never tell one client that I cannot attend his sales convention because I have a previous engagement with another client; successful polygamy depends upon pretending to each spouse that she is the only pebble on your beach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many search for happiness as we look for a hat we wear on our heads. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many search for happiness as we look for a hat we wear on our heads.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hatt is not made for one shower. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49035]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hatt is not made for one shower.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passion and shame torment him, and rage is mingled with his grief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Passion and shame torment him, and rage is mingled with his grief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it makes it much easier if we're looking at a 10-year number for $35 billion, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30200]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it makes it much easier if we're looking at a 10-year number for $35 billion,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation.

Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance with a man ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/400]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance with a man]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delay is hateful, but it gives wisdom ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Delay is hateful, but it gives wisdom]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942    A man's physical hunger does not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942    A man's physical hunger does not prove that that man will get any bread; he may die of starvation on a raft in the Atlantic. But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our nature is the mind.
