The same study should free us from the assumption that God will always be on our side whatever we do, will always protect His Church from temporal evil; or that He is only concerned with the faithful believers. It was precisely His concern for the wicked Ninevites that so distressed the prophet Jonah.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power ought to serve as a check to power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power ought to serve as a check to power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods.

They have Christ, they have God, and they are satisfied. There can be no monotony in the contemplation and worship of the Infinite. Their great possession is unchangeable, but also inexhaustible; no change is possible where all is love and truth. The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent-- that is to triumph over old age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19784]]></link><description><![CDATA[To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent-- that is to triumph over old age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come and trip it as ye go, On the light fantastic toe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come and trip it as ye go, On the light fantastic toe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   Our critical day is not the very day of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   Our critical day is not the very day of our death, but the whole course of our life; I thank him, that prays for me when my bell tolls; but I thank him much more, that catechizes me, or preaches to me, or instructs me how to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The free press is the mother of all our liberties and of our progress under liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16731]]></link><description><![CDATA[The free press is the mother of all our liberties and of our progress under liberty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It fooled him, how many other people are getting fooled? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35082]]></link><description><![CDATA[It fooled him, how many other people are getting fooled?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zeal then, not charity, became the guide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Zeal then, not charity, became the guide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2248]]></link><description><![CDATA[God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In prior years, saddled with heavy incentives and a sagging economy, industry executives pushed profitability out as far as they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30625]]></link><description><![CDATA[In prior years, saddled with heavy incentives and a sagging economy, industry executives pushed profitability out as far as they could.
