Let us admit that it is part of the fallen human nature of ecclesiastics, no less than of others in responsible positions, to desire always criteria of judgement which can be used without making too heavy demands upon the delicate faculty of spiritual discernment, clear-cut rules by which we may hope to be saved from making mistakes -- or rather, from being obviously and personally responsible for the mistakes. We are uncomfortable without definite principles by which we may guide our steps. We fear uncharted country, and the fanatics of all kinds who, upon the alleged authority of the Holy Spirit, summon us with strident cries in all directions simultaneously. Only those who have never borne the heavy burden of pastoral responsibility will mock at the cautious spirit of the ecclesiastic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A retentive memory is a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26979]]></link><description><![CDATA[A retentive memory is a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is someone who can sing you the song of your heart when you've forgotten it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17001]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is someone who can sing you the song of your heart when you've forgotten it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None make a greater show of sorrow than those who are most delighted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51666]]></link><description><![CDATA[None make a greater show of sorrow than those who are most delighted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Division has always been a disease of the church...

The Love Feast, which should have been the sign and symbol of perfect unity, has become a thing of divisions and class distinctions. And here there is something which only the newer translations reveal. In the older translations, it is said that to eat and drink at the sacrament without discerning the Lord's body is the way to judgment and not to salvation. But in the best Greek text, the word Lord's is not included. The sin is not to discern the body; that is to say, not to discern that the church is a body, not to be aware of the oneness of the church, not to be aware of the togetherness in which all its members should be joined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17955]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments.

My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where liberty is, there is my country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where liberty is, there is my country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People like me who believe the left can be a moderate forceÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âwe have failed.
