I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who would give a law to lovers?

He only seemed to inhabit a material body, and from the Greek word dokein ["to seem"], people who held this theory were known as Docetists. But if Christ's incarnation was unreal, His death and resurrection were also unreal; and the whole gospel message was thus evacuated of its truth and power: one unhappy legacy of this short-lived phase of Christian heresy remains to bedevil Christian witness to Muslims up to the present day. For when the Koran says of Jesus that "they did not kill Him, nor did they crucify Him, but they thought they did", we may infer that Muhammad was indebted for this idea to a Christian source tainted with Docetism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better a friendly refusal than an unwilling consent. •Spanish Proverb    Lawless are they that make their wills ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61614]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better a friendly refusal than an unwilling consent. •Spanish Proverb    Lawless are they that make their wills their law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12591]]></link><description><![CDATA[The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy he who far from business, like the primitive are of mortals, cultivates with his own oxen the fields of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy he who far from business, like the primitive are of mortals, cultivates with his own oxen the fields of his fathers, free from all anxieties of gain. [Lat., Beatus ille qui procul negotiis,  Ut prisca gens mortalium,   Paterna rura bobus exercet suis,    Solutus omni faenore.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, he's a limb that has but a disease: Mortal, to cut it off; to cure it, easy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12496]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, he's a limb that has but a disease: Mortal, to cut it off; to cure it, easy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best cure for hypochondria is to forget about your body and get interested in someone else's ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35880]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best cure for hypochondria is to forget about your body and get interested in someone else's]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O God of earth and altar,  Bow down and hear our cry; Our earthly rulers falter,  Our people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7854]]></link><description><![CDATA[O God of earth and altar,  Bow down and hear our cry; Our earthly rulers falter,  Our people drift and die; The walls of gold entomb us,  The swords of scorn divide; Take not Thy thunder from us,  But take away our pride.

But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She sets an example in practice with her hard work, and just getting herself prepared every time she plays. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34439]]></link><description><![CDATA[She sets an example in practice with her hard work, and just getting herself prepared every time she plays.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last minute of the game, we showed what we can do when we want to play.
