He to whom any drop of their sweetness floweth may follow it up into the spring. Were we wise, each taste of mercy would lead us to the ocean of love. Have we any hold on a promise? We may get upon it, and it will bring us to the main, Christ Himself and the Spirit, and so into the bosom of the Father. It is our folly to abide upon a little, which is given us merely to make us press for more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just felt that Mark has never looked fitter when I saw him at the last training camp in Holland. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35964]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just felt that Mark has never looked fitter when I saw him at the last training camp in Holland.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[April can be a violent month. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30688]]></link><description><![CDATA[April can be a violent month.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think they can do better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37944]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think they can do better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968  The great thing, and the only thing, is to adore and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968  The great thing, and the only thing, is to adore and praise God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The children in Holland take pleasure in making What the children in England take pleasure in breaking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5887]]></link><description><![CDATA[The children in Holland take pleasure in making What the children in England take pleasure in breaking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12651]]></link><description><![CDATA[But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.
