Not a glance but speaks and kindles some thought of love! Then, Jack, her cheeks! her cheeks, Jack! so deeply blushing at the insinuations of her tell-tale eyes! Then, Jack, her lips! O, Jack, lips smiling at their own discretion! and, if not smiling, more sweetly pouting -- more lovely in sullenness! Then, Jack, her neck! O, Jack, Jack!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[McClellan (4-0) threw a great game.

Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873  This is the age of the conference and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John & Henry Venn, Priests, Evangelical Divines, 1813, 1873  This is the age of the conference and study group -- people talking about what they know they should be doing. In a subtle way, talking about something becomes an excuse for not doing it. This new bolt-hole of the conference and study group is not confined to the local congregation. It is a painful fact of life in the central structures of the churches. We have a welter of reports, commissions, surveys, liaison bodies, and so on. They have the appearance of progressive thinking and readiness to face change, combined with the function of being delaying devices. They are the sacraments of current Christianity, and its dilemma. Outreach is a move from power structures to meekness structures, and, in spite of the fact that Christians believe that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, they show (as in the ecumenical movement) a distinct reluctance to relinquish power-structure thinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Selfishness is the only real atheism; aspiration, unselfishness, the only real religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Selfishness is the only real atheism; aspiration, unselfishness, the only real religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to corral him, keep him in the pocket and make him beat us with his arm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38184]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to corral him, keep him in the pocket and make him beat us with his arm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no talks going on, and CNN is not for sale.
