We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57794]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye may trace my step o'er the wakening earth,   By the winds which tell of the violet's birth,    By the primrose-stars in the shadowy grass,     By the green leaves, opening as I pass.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15070]]></link><description><![CDATA[Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What need a man forestall his date of grief, And run to meet what he would most avoid? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18340]]></link><description><![CDATA[What need a man forestall his date of grief, And run to meet what he would most avoid?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old Lady of Threadneedle Street. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old Lady of Threadneedle Street.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd had my daughter when I was a teenager - I took my daughter to college with me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40925]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd had my daughter when I was a teenager - I took my daughter to college with me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Will without power is like children playing at soldiers.   - quoted by Thomas Babington Macaulay, The Rovers (act ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Will without power is like children playing at soldiers.   - quoted by Thomas Babington Macaulay, The Rovers (act IV),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We get too soon old and too late smart. -Pennsylvania Dutch proverb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1825]]></link><description><![CDATA[We get too soon old and too late smart. -Pennsylvania Dutch proverb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temptation is an irresistible force at work on a moveable body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temptation is an irresistible force at work on a moveable body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The builders have no right to construct any building without the approval of the layout plans by the authorities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28538]]></link><description><![CDATA[The builders have no right to construct any building without the approval of the layout plans by the authorities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The block of granite which is an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45124]]></link><description><![CDATA[The block of granite which is an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sharon came back very strong.
