He had many, but His favourite was to their chivalry and valour. Often He underlines the difficulties of discipleship, warns us what it will cost, that it means risk and loss and sacrifice, and pulling hard against fierce currents; and then He turns and looks at us, with that honouring trust of His in us that sets the blood tingling and makes the cheeks flush with pride. That, He says quietly, is why I am so sure that you will come: you are too big to keep out of it! And, indeed, in His own day, it was only daring and adventurous spirits who would risk declaring for Him, as it is only daring and adventurous spirits still who have the pluck to try to follow so original and unpopular a Master in the real living-out of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We couldn't make a basket and we just let it get away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32455]]></link><description><![CDATA[We couldn't make a basket and we just let it get away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Betrayal is about learning not to idealize external sources. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4172]]></link><description><![CDATA[Betrayal is about learning not to idealize external sources.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11556]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the saintly and single-minded idealist to the fanatic is often but a step. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52013]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the saintly and single-minded idealist to the fanatic is often but a step.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Abrams described a historically significant episode that revealed how the medical establishment -not just the government- has upheld prohibition.] In ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33822]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Abrams described a historically significant episode that revealed how the medical establishment -not just the government- has upheld prohibition.] In 1997 after the law was changed in California, Jerome Kassirer, who was Editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, wrote an editorial on medical marijuana called 'federal foolishness,' saying 'We know this drug works, everybody has their anecdotal experience of people who have benefited from it, get over it, reschedule it, make it schedule 2.'

But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In vain would I seek to discover Why sad and mournful am I,  My thoughts without ceasing brood over ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57917]]></link><description><![CDATA[In vain would I seek to discover Why sad and mournful am I,  My thoughts without ceasing brood over   A tale of the time gone by.    [Ger., Ich weiss nicht was soll es bedeuten,     Dass ich so traurig bin:      Ein marchen aus alten Zeiten       Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inspiration of the almighty gives man understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21124]]></link><description><![CDATA[The inspiration of the almighty gives man understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death to all fanatics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death to all fanatics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not saying I wasn't flawed or amateurish.

The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After seven years of writing - and working many jobs to support my family - I finally got published. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40884]]></link><description><![CDATA[After seven years of writing - and working many jobs to support my family - I finally got published.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He too serves a certain purpose who only stands and cheers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47233]]></link><description><![CDATA[He too serves a certain purpose who only stands and cheers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689   We have all been inoculated with Christianity, and are never likely to take it seriously now! You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you keep by you, you may change and mend but words, once spoken, can never be recalled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62057]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you keep by you, you may change and mend but words, once spoken, can never be recalled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasures are enhanced by a moderate indulgence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasures are enhanced by a moderate indulgence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41486]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees; and both the trust and the trustees are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees; and both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To affirm is to make firm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21474]]></link><description><![CDATA[To affirm is to make firm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's definitely the worst experience of my life that I ever want to live through, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30927]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's definitely the worst experience of my life that I ever want to live through,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of harmes two the less is for to chose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6055]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of harmes two the less is for to chose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We simply write the kind of music we enjoy most and hope that our audience will enjoy it too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30064]]></link><description><![CDATA[We simply write the kind of music we enjoy most and hope that our audience will enjoy it too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Psychoanalysis is the mental illness it purports to cure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Psychoanalysis is the mental illness it purports to cure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must go in, the fog is rising. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15241]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must go in, the fog is rising.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14110]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A radical is one who speaks the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52928]]></link><description><![CDATA[A radical is one who speaks the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We tried this because in the past, nobody knew who they'd be skating with.
