He that refuses to do the less is not like to do the greater. It is very improbable that a man will die for his religion, when he cannot be persuaded to live according to it. He that cannot take up a resolution to live a saint, hath a demonstration within himself that he is never like to die a martyr.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Study the past if you would divine the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Study the past if you would divine the future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That hour o' night's black arch the keystane. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27450]]></link><description><![CDATA[That hour o' night's black arch the keystane.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never let formal education get in the way of your learning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never let formal education get in the way of your learning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis midnight now.

The "greater love than this" of which our Lord speaks, though He does not command it, is to give oneself for one's friends. And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us. The easy renunciation of self for the Beloved becomes the very breath of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461  If we would put some slight stress on ourselves at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461  If we would put some slight stress on ourselves at the beginning, then afterwards we should be able to do all things with ease and joy. It is a hard thing to break through a habit, and a yet harder thing to go contrary to our own will. Yet, if thou overcome not slight and easy obstacles, how wilt thou overcome greater ones? Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties. Oh, if thou knewest what peace to thyself thy holy life should bring, ... and what joy to others, methinketh thou wouldst be more zealous for spiritual profit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, that he were here to write me down an ass! -Much Ado about Nothing.
