In spite of its ever-increasing membership, the church lacks the spirit of God's growing love and understanding that can transform it from an efficient organization into a loving, dynamic fellowship where men and women become vitally alive with faith, love, and hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love fails, only when we fail to love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25915]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love fails, only when we fail to love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore in medicine we ought to know the causes of sickness and health. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore in medicine we ought to know the causes of sickness and health.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For enemies carry about slander not in the form in which it took its rise. . . .

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[I think the King is but a man as I am: the violet smells to him as it doth to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23803]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the King is but a man as I am: the violet smells to him as it doth to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things are God's already; we can give him no right, by consecrating any, that he had not before, only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7461]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things are God's already; we can give him no right, by consecrating any, that he had not before, only we set it apart to his service -- just as a gardener brings his master a basket of apricots, and presents them; his lord thanks him, and perhaps gives him something for his pains, and yet the apricots were as much his lord's before as now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose From out night's gray and cloudy sheath; Softly and still it grows ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slow buds the pink dawn like a rose From out night's gray and cloudy sheath; Softly and still it grows and grows, Petal by petal, leaf by leaf.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is that if we are not beautiful to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33880]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is that if we are not beautiful to each other, we cannot know beauty in any form.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven cannot brook two suns, nor earth two masters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In going abroad we change the climate not our dispositions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50272]]></link><description><![CDATA[In going abroad we change the climate not our dispositions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no downside to it whatsoever.
