O well-spring of this All! Thy Father's image vive; Word, that from nought did call What is, doth reason, live; The soul's eternal food, Earth's joy, delight of heaven; All truth, love, beauty, good: To thee, to thee be praises ever given! O glory of the heaven! O sole delight of earth! To thee all power be given, God's uncreated birth! Of mankind lover true, Indearer of his wrong, Who doth the world renew, Still be thou our salvation and our song!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Charles, King & Martyr, 1649  Whatever task God is calling us to, if it is yours, it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Charles, King & Martyr, 1649  Whatever task God is calling us to, if it is yours, it is mine, and if it is mine, it is yours. We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[External nature is only internal nature writ large. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63480]]></link><description><![CDATA[External nature is only internal nature writ large.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books are not men and yet they stay alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books are not men and yet they stay alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There weren't any great performances, but we won it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36501]]></link><description><![CDATA[There weren't any great performances, but we won it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want them to be cutting each other's throats for the lead or something will come from behind and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33207]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't want them to be cutting each other's throats for the lead or something will come from behind and beat them both,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here is the Truth in a little creed,  Enough for all the roads we go: In Love is all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here is the Truth in a little creed,  Enough for all the roads we go: In Love is all the law we need,  In Christ is all the God we know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We purposely created Bob out of the ashes of George.

Not fiends incarnate, but plain flesh and blood like us; quite ordinary men, decent and kindly souls enough, some of whom, no doubt, went to their homes that day from Calvary and took their children on their knees and loved them very genuinely. Only, they were a bit old fashioned in the make-up of their minds, had grown stiff and inelastic in their thinking, inhospitable to new notions -- surely a very minor sin at worst -- and some feared for their vested interests; and one, poor Pilate, had lost his temper with these impossible Jews in days gone by, and had received a curt warning from Rome that there must be no further bloodshed in Jerusalem, and here was a new trouble at the very worst of times in the whole year, with fanatics in tens of thousands come up for the Feast; and one wanted to save the world by quick-running machinery, and so put Christ into a situation where He could no longer dilly-dally but must do something vivid, dramatic, revolutionary. And the people? No need for us to bother being there at the decision between Jesus and Barabbas. We had the lined streets cheering for Him yesterday. And we have relatives to see, and messages from neighbours to deliver to their kindred. He will be all right; we needn't worry to be there. Such simple and plebian sins -- minds grown a trifle out of date, a little selfishness, some temper and its consequences, a bit of worldly wisdom, and an indifference that did nothing at all -- these brought about the shame of mankind, and the tragedy of history, and the blot upon our annals that will not rub out. And they are all of them within your heart and mine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sure I'm for helping the elderly.
