Nor need we shrink from confessing that our Lord was justly open to such reproach, unless He was indeed Divine, unless He was deliberately preparing His followers for that astonishing revelation, soon to come, which threw the Church upon her knees in adoration of her God manifest in flesh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of James the Apostle  It is not in our life that God's help and presence must still be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of James the Apostle  It is not in our life that God's help and presence must still be proved, but rather God's presence and help have been demonstrated for us in the life of Jesus Christ. It is, in fact, more important for us to know what God did to Israel and to His Son Jesus Christ, than to seek what God intends for us today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?  Sweet Helen, make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?  Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.--   Her lips suck forth my soul; see, where it flies!--]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to avoid a property owner using sewer availability as leverage to get more units with the county. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35407]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to avoid a property owner using sewer availability as leverage to get more units with the county.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63524]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings.

The masses teeming and happy -- common clay, if you like -- eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead. And then there are the others -- the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901   What are our lame praises in comparison with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901   What are our lame praises in comparison with His love?

General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True is it that we have seen better days. -As You Like It.

What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are at enmity with yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44235]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are at enmity with yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of a misfit occupation. . . .

Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ... Anonymous    July 24, 1998  Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  If thou shalt remain faithful and zealous in labour, doubt not that God shall be faithful and bountiful in rewarding thee.
