If obedience to the will of GOD be necessary to happiness, and knowledge of his will be necessary to obedience, I know not how he that withholds this knowledge, or delays it, can be said to love his neighbour as himself. He, that voluntarily continues ignorance, is guilty of all the crimes which ignorance produces; as to him that should extinguish the tapers of a light-house, might justly be imputed the calamities of shipwrecks. (Continued tomorrow)   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 13, 2002   Christianity is the highest perfection of humanity; and as no man is good but as he wishes the good of others, so no man can be good in the highest degree, who wishes not to others the largest measures of the greatest good. To omit for a year, or for a day, the most efficacious method of advancing Christianity [i.e., the Bible], in compliance with any purposes that terminate this side of the grave, is a crime [the like] of which I know not that the world has yet had an example.   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 14, 2002 Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866   The "good" man, the man whose god is righteousness, has as his life's ambition the keeping of rules and commandments and the keeping of himself uncontaminated by the world. This sounds admirable; but, as the truth of Christ showed, the whole of such living, the whole drive and ambition, the whole edifice, is self-centered. That entire process of effort must be abandoned if a man is to give himself in love to God and his fellows. He must lose his life if he is ever going to find it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379  Humility is the root, mother, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory, Bishop of Nyssa, & his sister Macrina, Teachers, c.394 & c.379  Humility is the root, mother, nurse, foundation, and bond of all virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let thy attyre bee comely, but not costly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let thy attyre bee comely, but not costly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory.

Of the present moment -- and of it only -- humans have an experience analogous to the experience which God has of reality as a whole; in it alone, freedom and actuality are offered them. He would therefore have them continually concerned either with Eternity (which means being concerned with Him) or with the Present -- either meditating on their eternal union with, or separation from, Himself; or else obeying the present voice of conscience, bearing the present cross, receiving the present grace, giving thanks for the present pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I lived up to the highest light I had, higher and higher light cameto me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21153]]></link><description><![CDATA[As I lived up to the highest light I had, higher and higher light cameto me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27320]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The better part of valour is discretion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12457]]></link><description><![CDATA[The better part of valour is discretion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60099]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is impossible to walk rapidly and be unhappy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes.
