I now see godliness is more than the outside and this world's passments and their buskings [i.e., ornaments and fine dress]. Who knoweth the truth of grace without a trial? O how little getteth Christ of us, but that which he winneth (to speak so) with much toil and pains! And how soon would faith freeze without a cross?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This business will never hold water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5024]]></link><description><![CDATA[This business will never hold water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26629]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poet not in love is out at sea; He must have a lay-figure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46839]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poet not in love is out at sea; He must have a lay-figure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vision without action is a dream.

Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As long as this exists, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47029]]></link><description><![CDATA[The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when he takes office, something else at midterm and something else when he leaves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I ain't got nothing.

Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quoth Sidrophel, If you suppose, Sir Knight, that I am one of those,  I might suspect, and take th' ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quoth Sidrophel, If you suppose, Sir Knight, that I am one of those,  I might suspect, and take th' alarm,   You bus'ness is but to inform;    But if it be, 'tis ne'er the near,     You have a wrong sow by the ear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[NATO has not received any formal request from the U.N. or from the African Union for anything beyond what it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37054]]></link><description><![CDATA[NATO has not received any formal request from the U.N. or from the African Union for anything beyond what it is currently doing.

The phrases are in languages throughout Europe: the devil's hoof, the devil's horn mark. It reaches back to early Christianity and the middle ages. Where a child was born out of wedlock, the church cooked up the impression that you'd done something sinful, and something dreadful would result. You will still find, particularly in Greece, people doing a little sign when they see a very badly disabled child ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ it needs warding off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification.
