We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sanctity of human life is the most dangerous sophistry ever propagated by philosophy and it is all too well ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38787]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sanctity of human life is the most dangerous sophistry ever propagated by philosophy and it is all too well rooted.

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary;   And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together   Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,   And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently,   The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts   The blessings of His Heav'n. No ear may hear His coming,   But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still,   The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem,   Descend to us, we pray, Cast out our sins, and enter in,   Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels   The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us,   Our Lord Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to change the location of a cemetery, than to change the school curriculum ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10879]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to change the location of a cemetery, than to change the school curriculum]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best verse hasn't been rhymed yet, The best house hasn't been planned,  The highest peak hasn't been climbed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62076]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best verse hasn't been rhymed yet, The best house hasn't been planned,  The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet,   The mightiest rivers aren't spanned;    Don't worry and fret, faint-hearted,     The chances have just begun      For the best jobs haven't been started,       The best work hasn't been done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prejudice is like a hair across your cheek.
