Why do we not, as becomes brethren, dwell together in unity, but are so apt to quarrel and break out into heats, to crumble into sects and parties, to divide and separate from one another upon every trifling occasion? Give me leave... in the name of our dear Lord ... to recommend to you this new commandment of his, that ye love one another. Which is almost a new commandment still, and hardly the worse for wearing, so seldom is it put on, and so little hath it been practiced among Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a familiar beast to man, and signifies love. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.

It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ... Friedrich von Schiller  September 8, 2000   Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bastard Freedom waves Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bastard Freedom waves Her fustian flag in mockery over slaves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Did you ever hear of Captain Wattle? He was all for love and a little for the bottle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13002]]></link><description><![CDATA[Did you ever hear of Captain Wattle? He was all for love and a little for the bottle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And ours is a business that requires discipline and focus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64393]]></link><description><![CDATA[And ours is a business that requires discipline and focus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Students now arrive at the university ignorant and cynical about our political heritage, lacking the wherewithal to be either inspired ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58012]]></link><description><![CDATA[Students now arrive at the university ignorant and cynical about our political heritage, lacking the wherewithal to be either inspired by it or seriously critical of it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more violent the storm the sooner it is over. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51193]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more violent the storm the sooner it is over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64650]]></link><description><![CDATA[The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.rnRead more at http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/a/abraham_lincoln_2.html#0P2cCWMdWjEvdFdb.99rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Other sports play once a week but this sport is with us every day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Other sports play once a week but this sport is with us every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.

At first sight, it may seem that they have only to proclaim and declare; but in fact, if their words are to enter men's hearts and bear fruit, they must be the right words, shaped cunningly to pass men's defenses and explode silently and effectually within their minds. This means, in practice, turning a face of flint toward the easy cliche, the well-worn religious cant and phraseology -- dear, no doubt, to the faithful, but utterly meaningless to those outside the fold. It means learning how people are thinking and how they are feeling; it means learning with patience, imagination and ingenuity the way to pierce apathy or blank lack of understanding. I sometimes wonder what hours of prayer and thought lie behind the apparently simple and spontaneous parables of the Gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a tree dies, plant another in its place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66350]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a tree dies, plant another in its place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freud: If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51987]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freud: If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A telescope will magnify a star a thousand times, but a good press agent can do even better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35134]]></link><description><![CDATA[A telescope will magnify a star a thousand times, but a good press agent can do even better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And filled the air with barbarous dissonance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57293]]></link><description><![CDATA[And filled the air with barbarous dissonance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never underestimate a parent's ability to mortify his child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45498]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never underestimate a parent's ability to mortify his child.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48408]]></link><description><![CDATA[For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25471]]></link><description><![CDATA[So lonely 'twas that God himself Scarce seemed there to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No adulation;
