He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. (Continued tomorrow)   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 2, 2000 Feast of All Souls   In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign -- that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality.   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 3, 2000 Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   People make mistakes when they believe. They may even want something so badly that passion creates its own evidences. Reprehensible though these habits are, they nonetheless fall within the pale of man's general effort to conform the self to things as they are. But when a person acknowledges the deficiency of evidences and yet goes right on believing, he defends a position that is large with the elements of its own destruction. Any brand of inanity can be defended on such a principle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These people have served a longer sentence than some people who have committed murder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47266]]></link><description><![CDATA[These people have served a longer sentence than some people who have committed murder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26568]]></link><description><![CDATA[I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much money makes a Countrey poor, for it sets a dearer price on every thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much money makes a Countrey poor, for it sets a dearer price on every thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62935]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An Irishman's heart is nothing but his imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23054]]></link><description><![CDATA[An Irishman's heart is nothing but his imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's patience is infinite.

Its glorification of mere chance is a denial of the Divine order of nature. To risk money haphazard is to disregard the insistence of the Church in every age of living faith that possessions are a trust, and that men must account to God for their use. The persistent appeal to covetousness is fundamentally opposed to the unselfishness which was taught by Jesus Christ and by the New Testament as a whole. The attempt (which is inseparable from gambling) to make a profit out of the inevitable loss and possible suffering of others is the antithesis of that love of one's neighbour on which our Lord insisted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[-Serv. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56082]]></link><description><![CDATA[-Serv.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Across the narrow beach we flit, One little sand-piper and I;  And fast I gather, bit by bit.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Across the narrow beach we flit, One little sand-piper and I;  And fast I gather, bit by bit.   The scattered drift-wood, bleached and dry,    The wild waves reach their hands for it.     The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,      As up and down the beach we flit,       One little sand-piper and I.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While this amount may seem large, it pales in comparison to the estimated $100 billion spent each year on bottled ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34505]]></link><description><![CDATA[While this amount may seem large, it pales in comparison to the estimated $100 billion spent each year on bottled water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guide to understanding a net.addict's day: Slow day: didn't have much to do, so spent three hours on usenet.
