Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["I cannot raise my worth too high; Of what vast consequence am I!"  "Not of the importance you suppose," ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16210]]></link><description><![CDATA["I cannot raise my worth too high; Of what vast consequence am I!"  "Not of the importance you suppose,"   Replies a Flea upon his nose;    "Be humble, learn thyself to scan;     Know, pride was never made for man."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very unfair, in my opinion.

For if philosophers become kings or scientists commissars, they become politicians, and the powers given to the state are powers given to men who are rulers of states, men subject to all the limitations and temptations of their dangerous craft. Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't. It will be exercised by men who will be men first and rulers next and scientists and saints long after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The poets did well to conjoin music and medicine, because the office of medicine is but to tune the curious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25360]]></link><description><![CDATA[The poets did well to conjoin music and medicine, because the office of medicine is but to tune the curious harp of man's body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14947]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are we going to build a house without doors and windows, or are we going to put doors and windows ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are we going to build a house without doors and windows, or are we going to put doors and windows in the dang thing so it can be used?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capitalists are motivated not chiefly by the desire to consume wealth or indulge their appetites, but by the freedom and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Capitalists are motivated not chiefly by the desire to consume wealth or indulge their appetites, but by the freedom and power to consummate their entrepreneurial ideas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who will not grant a favour has no right to ask one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51614]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who will not grant a favour has no right to ask one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All Christians believe in divine sovereignty but some are not aware that they do, and mistakenly imagine and insist that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6773]]></link><description><![CDATA[All Christians believe in divine sovereignty but some are not aware that they do, and mistakenly imagine and insist that they reject it. What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money can't buy happiness; it can, however, rent it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money can't buy happiness; it can, however, rent it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lawyer's dream of heaven: every man reclaimed his property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24373]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lawyer's dream of heaven: every man reclaimed his property at the resurrection, and each tried to recover it from all his forefathers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way is an ill neighbour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49930]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way is an ill neighbour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In all nations an exceptional man exists that compensates the deficiencies of the remainder.

Here we all gather around the one Altar, here we all share in shaping the policy of the Church in this diocese; here we all take part in making provision for carrying on the work of the Church during the coming year. At this time, year by year, we are specially conscious of our unity in Christ, and are made aware afresh that we are members of this new race of human beings which is made up of all those of every ethnic group who have been added to Christ. We are members of that Kingdom in which all human antagonisms are transcended. Yet we shall not interpret aright this unity which is ours in Christ Jesus unless we continually remind ourselves that it has its origin in His death and resurrection. The Church springs out of the deeds of Jesus done in the flesh, and we can only fulfill our destiny in the Church as we learn that we are utterly dependent upon the whole Body of Christ. . . . Whatever gifts we possess belong to the Body, and are useful only as they are used in the common life of the Church. All this is made very plain in the New Testament Epistles, for in them we are taught that each local Christian community is a fellowship in which every member is to live in humility and in love to the brethren. Yet no local church is to live to it self. Again and again, local churches are reminded of their close relationship to one another, in life, work, worship, pain, and death. Not that such a relationship is to be regarded either as a matter of convenience or as a question of organization. On the contrary, this intimate relationship is seen as the direct outcome of the saving work of Christ. This unity with one another, and of local churches with each other, is the unity which belongs to the Body of Christ, arising from the unity of God Himself, uttered in the dying and rising again of Jesus, and now expressed in the order and structure of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Similar problems are faced in every household, but this is on a much larger scale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Similar problems are faced in every household, but this is on a much larger scale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38684</guid></item></channel></rss>
