They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All government--indeed, every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue and every prudent act--is founded on compromise and barter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17987]]></link><description><![CDATA[All government--indeed, every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue and every prudent act--is founded on compromise and barter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good.

Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bullpen is something we have talked about since I've been here.

Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With mortal crisis doth portend, My days to appropinque an end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17083]]></link><description><![CDATA[With mortal crisis doth portend, My days to appropinque an end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Innocent as a dove you will harm no one, but wise as a serpent no one will harm you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20975]]></link><description><![CDATA[Innocent as a dove you will harm no one, but wise as a serpent no one will harm you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heigh ho, heigh ho! / It's off to work we go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heigh ho, heigh ho! / It's off to work we go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing enduring in life for a woman except what she builds in a man's heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27209]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing enduring in life for a woman except what she builds in a man's heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5388]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How much of injustice and depravity is sanctioned by custom! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51739]]></link><description><![CDATA[How much of injustice and depravity is sanctioned by custom!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64696]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  But when does flesh receive the bread which He calls His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  But when does flesh receive the bread which He calls His flesh?
