Such a man is a real hero.'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is turning one's worst moments into money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing is turning one's worst moments into money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is down need fear no fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42784]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is down need fear no fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing tires a man more than to be grateful all the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing tires a man more than to be grateful all the time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do now remember the poor creature, small beer. -King Henry IV.

People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems that when we don't shoot the ball well, we stop working hard.

I promise thee, Christ will not hear their excuse; for He himself suffered harm for our sakes, and for our salvation was put to extreme death. I wis, if it had pleased Him, He might have saved us and never felt pain; but in suffering pains and death He did give us example, and teach us how we should do one for another, as He did for us all; for, as He saith himself, "he that will be mine, let him deny himself, and follow me, in bearing my cross and suffering my pains." Wherefore we must needs suffer pain with Christ to do our neighbor good, as well with the body and all his members, as with heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My soul is dark! oh quickly string The harp I yet can brook to hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48752]]></link><description><![CDATA[My soul is dark! oh quickly string The harp I yet can brook to hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank.

I think when Judas fled from his hanged and fallen body, he fled to the tender help of Jesus, and found it -- I say not how. He was in a more hopeful condition now than during any moment of his past life, for he had never repented before. But I believe that Jesus loved Judas even when he was kissing Him with traitor's kiss; and I believe that He was his Saviour still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the best one yet - it's the fourth and it means a lot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30001]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the best one yet - it's the fourth and it means a lot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had a blast.

It comes from him in his Sonship in a double way, as man living to God and as God living with men. Belief in him and loyalty to his cause involve men in the double movement, from world to God and from God to world. Even when theologies fail to do justice to this fact, Christians living with Christ in their cultures are aware of it. For they are forever being challenged to abandon all things for the sake of God; and forever being sent back into the world to teach and practice all the things that have been commanded them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  Words are merely carriers of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  Words are merely carriers of the secret, supernatural communications, the light and call of God.
