Melanctha was always being left when she was not leaving others. Melanctha Herbert always loved too hard and much too often. She was always full with mystery and subtle movements and denials and vague distrusts and complicated disillusions. Then Melanctha would be sudden and impulsive and unbounded in some faith, and then she would suffer and be strong in her repression. Melanctha Herbert was always seeking rest and quiet and always she could only find new ways to be in trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is born without faults. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50303]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is born without faults.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28037]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I should have cut back and gotten into the end zone.

This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our pitching staff is probably the biggest question mark for us, because we don't have anybody coming back that was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our pitching staff is probably the biggest question mark for us, because we don't have anybody coming back that was dominant last season, that had 10 wins, they you can say, 'Hey give this guy the ball and he'll go out there and give us a win.'

A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's what I've been trying to stress the whole time.
