The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness. -Alfred Bernhard Nobel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is nature's veil for hiding truth's nakedness. -Alfred Bernhard Nobel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs as you do, you can relax a little and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3468]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs as you do, you can relax a little and use more normal means of talking to it; when you have to assume that it does not, then you have to make your vision apparent by shock, to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind, you draw large and startling figures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Elizabeth's 3-pointers broke the game open.

I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation because in the degradation of woman the very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43717]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation because in the degradation of woman the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not is our stars,  But ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus, is not is our stars,  But in ourselves, that we are underlings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As far as the team goes, other than Riley, we left some strokes out on the course today.

Let us not think of it vaguely, and fall into the heretical fancy that the Son of God became man merely to transact certain things which were necessary to secure the salvation of men, and that after this object was achieved His human nature recedes into the background and impenetrable obscurity. No, it is not so; all-important as His work on earth was -- the only foundation of our hope and blessedness -- let us adore the revealed mystery that God gave us His Son, never to recall Him, as it were, and take Him away from us; He spared Him not and gave Him to us, allowing Him to become man, exalting Him as the Son of Man, enthroning Him because of his obedience unto death, and giving unto Him as the Son of Man all power in heaven and earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Help me to resist temptation, Lord, especially when I know no one is looking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Help me to resist temptation, Lord, especially when I know no one is looking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was really obvious what went on to the players and managers.
