But for precisely the same reason, we cannot admit a demand from others for any changes in ourselves which would seem to imply a denial that we already possess the esse of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hear me profess sincerely: had I a dozen sons, each in my love alike, and none less dear than thine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hear me profess sincerely: had I a dozen sons, each in my love alike, and none less dear than thine and my good Marcius, I had rather have eleven die nobly for their country than one voluptuously surfeit out of action.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1741]]></link><description><![CDATA[None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54654]]></link><description><![CDATA[That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're not planning to go 24 hours, but we are taking a step in that direction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41662]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're not planning to go 24 hours, but we are taking a step in that direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was just a smart move for me, based on me and my family huddling together and doing what was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29522]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was just a smart move for me, based on me and my family huddling together and doing what was best for me.

Sin also appears in attitudes and dispositions and feelings. Lust and hate are sins as well as adultery and murder. And, in the traditional Christian view, despair and chronic boredom -- unaccompanied by any vicious act -- are serious sins. They are expressions of man's separation from God, as the ultimate good, meaning, and end of human existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is not belief.

Wrath, which is a fourth birth from these three, can have no existence till one or all of these three are contradicted, or have something done to them that is contrary to their will. These four properties generate their own torment. They have no outward cause, nor any inward power of altering themselves. And therefore all self or nature must be in this state until some supernatural good comes into it, or gets a birth in it. Whilst man indeed lives among the vanities of time, his covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath may be in a tolerable state, may hold him to a mixture of peace and trouble; they may have at times their gratifications as well as their torments. But when death has put an end to the vanity of all earthly cheats, the soul that is not born again of the Supernatural Word and Spirit of God, must find itself unavoidably devoured and shut up in its own insatiable, unchangeable, self-tormenting covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The things which are most important don't always scream the loudest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20648]]></link><description><![CDATA[The things which are most important don't always scream the loudest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Form-criticism... has made an end of the false notion, which for a long time dominated critical scholarship, that it was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Form-criticism... has made an end of the false notion, which for a long time dominated critical scholarship, that it was possible throughout the gospels to distill from them a "Life of Jesus" that would be free from dogmatic presuppositions and not affected by any "retouching" derived from the faith of the Church. In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes you have to accept you can't win all the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes you have to accept you can't win all the time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know how to win victory, Hannibal, you do not how to use it [Lat., Vincere scis, Hannibal; victoria uti ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60584]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know how to win victory, Hannibal, you do not how to use it [Lat., Vincere scis, Hannibal; victoria uti nescis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To isolate mathematics from the practical demands of the sciences is to invite the sterility of a cow shut away ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26530]]></link><description><![CDATA[To isolate mathematics from the practical demands of the sciences is to invite the sterility of a cow shut away from the bulls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inter-group contact and positive relationships across the generations seem to be an important mechanism for combating ageist stereotypes, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33711]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inter-group contact and positive relationships across the generations seem to be an important mechanism for combating ageist stereotypes,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of science is to ask the right question, and it is the choice of problem more than anything ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9424]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of science is to ask the right question, and it is the choice of problem more than anything else that marks the man of genius in the scientific world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your slave commits a fault, do not smash his teeth with your fists; give him some of the (hard) ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10137]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your slave commits a fault, do not smash his teeth with your fists; give him some of the (hard) biscuit which famous Rhodes has sent you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To help all created things, that is the measure of all our responsibility; to be helped by all, that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19149]]></link><description><![CDATA[To help all created things, that is the measure of all our responsibility; to be helped by all, that is the measure of our hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If health insurance was working properly, the sicker you are, the more protection you would have.
