The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who rushes headlong into love will fare worse than if he had cast himself from a precipice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50866]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who rushes headlong into love will fare worse than if he had cast himself from a precipice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judges must beware of hard constructions and strained inferences, for there is no worse torture than that of laws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judges must beware of hard constructions and strained inferences, for there is no worse torture than that of laws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh Lord, forgive the misprints! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh Lord, forgive the misprints!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60050]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of forgiving everything is to understand nothing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To feed were best at home; From thence, the sauce is meat to ceremony:  Meeting were bare without it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5447]]></link><description><![CDATA[To feed were best at home; From thence, the sauce is meat to ceremony:  Meeting were bare without it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most controversies would soon be ended, if those engaged in them would first accurately define their terms, and then adhere ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10070]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most controversies would soon be ended, if those engaged in them would first accurately define their terms, and then adhere to their definitions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   "Homesickness for the [One True Church]" is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   "Homesickness for the [One True Church]" is genuine and legitimate only in so far as it is a disquietude at the fact that we have lost and forgotten Christ, and with Him have lost the unity of the Church. Thus we must be on our guard, all along the line, lest the motives which stir us today lead us to a quest that looks past Him. Indeed, however rightful and urgent those motives are, we could well leave them out of our reckoning. We shall do well to realize that in themselves they are well-meaning but merely human desires, and that we can have no final certainty that they are rightful, no unanswerable claim for their fulfillment. Unless we regard them with a measure of holy indifference, we are ill placed for a quest after the unity of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When in doubt, make a fool of yourself.
