But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. -Fr. Alfred D'Souza.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come when the rains Have glazed the snow and clothed the trees with ice,  While the slant sun of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come when the rains Have glazed the snow and clothed the trees with ice,  While the slant sun of February pours   Into the bowers a flood of light.

My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity, at least remember the human factor. These guys are still human beings and hopefully still have hearts and if you keep in touch with them rather than vilify them you may be able to encourage them to go in the right direction. What I'm hoping will eventually happen is that they will grasp the amount of power and financial clout that is now at their fingertips and use those as tools to help real people with real things the way punk politics was always designed to do before, but nobody had any money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. -King Richard III. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56017]]></link><description><![CDATA[True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. -King Richard III.

What would it be to taste at the fountain-head that stream of which even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? Yet that, I believe, is what lies before us. As St. Augustine said, the rapture of the saved soul will "flow over" into the glorified body. In the light of our present specialized and depraved appetites, we cannot imagine this [torrent of pleasure], and I warn everyone most seriously not to try. But it must be mentioned, to drive out thoughts even more misleading--thoughts that what is saved is a mere ghost, or that the risen body lives in numb insensibility. The body is made for the Lord, and these dismal fancies are wide of the mark.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course, the implication is that there is something amiss, but I think that issue is far from settled.

In fact, I believe that this government effort is a fishing expedition that unnecessarily disrupts the normal business operations of resellers and the manufacturers that supply them. If the government thought something was really wrong, they wouldn't have cast such a wide net to go hunting. I think this is a classic example of prosecutorial overreach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[USC and Oklahoma are ranked in the topÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â two becauseÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â they haveÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â not taken essentially one-third of the season off, as Auburn has, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37657]]></link><description><![CDATA[USC and Oklahoma are ranked in the topÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â two becauseÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â they haveÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â not taken essentially one-third of the season off, as Auburn has, ...

"Salvation" can be seen then as the new life in Christ, in which we are to be "free to develop" into Christ-like people. For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20717]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And if you can be merry then, I'll say A man may weep upon his wedding day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27416]]></link><description><![CDATA[And if you can be merry then, I'll say A man may weep upon his wedding day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66432]]></link><description><![CDATA[After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You make a decision about how you want to live your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37118]]></link><description><![CDATA[You make a decision about how you want to live your life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can definitely relate to a few things in the song.
