Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without. God is friendly -- we are estranged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world.

They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like to write, but I love to have written ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62418]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't like to write, but I love to have written]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been my misfortune to be engaged in more battles than any other general on the other side of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42795]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been my misfortune to be engaged in more battles than any other general on the other side of the Atlantic; but there was never a time during my command when I would not have chosen some settlement by reason rather than the sword.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our dog was going crazy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our dog was going crazy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The doctor has been taught to be interested not in health but in disease.
