The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up.

Death and life go on their own way, carry on their own work, and stay for no opinions... What a delusion it is therefore to grow gray-headed in balancing ancient and modern opinions; to waste the precious uncertain fire of life in critical zeal and verbal animosities; when nothing but the kindling of our working will into a faith that overcometh the world, into a steadfast hope, and ever-burning love and desire of the divine life, can hinder us from falling into eternal death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commitment in the face of conflict produces character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commitment in the face of conflict produces character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been to war, and it's not easy to kill.

It was unkind to speak to men like this, for such a cheap offer could only leave them bewildered and tempt them from the way to which they had been called by Christ. Having laid hold on cheap grace, they were barred forever from the knowledge of costly grace. Deceived and weakened, men felt that they were strong now that they were in possession of this cheap grace -- whereas they had in fact lost the power to live the life of discipleship and obedience. The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8465]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   In the first ages, [catechizing] was a work of long time; months, sometimes years, were devoted to the arduous task of disabusing the mind of the incipient Christian of its pagan errors, and of moulding it upon the Christian faith. The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ... John Henry Newman, "What is a University?" August 12, 2000   Any single verse of the Bible, taken in isolation, may actually be dangerous to your spiritual health. Every part of it must be read in relation to the whole message.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Lafayette Parish wants to attract new businesses and have jobs, it needs to address the facility needs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39524]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Lafayette Parish wants to attract new businesses and have jobs, it needs to address the facility needs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever despises himself nonetheless respects himself as one who despises. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63665]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever despises himself nonetheless respects himself as one who despises.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I write with experiences in mind, but I don't write about them, I write out of them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38734]]></link><description><![CDATA[I write with experiences in mind, but I don't write about them, I write out of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought we passed up a lot of good pitches to hit.
