He loveth the Church, which He died to purchase, His own Body, and all the members of the Body, better than we can; He loveth us better and more wisely than we ourselves He who made us loveth us better than we who unmade ourselves; He who died for us, better than we who destroy ourselves: He who would sanctify us for a Holy Temple unto Himself, better than we who have defiled what He has hallowed. Fear we not, therefore, anything which threateneth, shrink we not back from anything which falleth on us. Rather let us, though with trembling, hold up our hearts to Him, to make them His Own, in what way He willeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink;  Water, water, everywhere,   Nor any drop to drink. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61290]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink;  Water, water, everywhere,   Nor any drop to drink.    The very deep did rot: O Christ!     That ever this should be!      Yes, slimy things did crawl with legs       Upon the slimy sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65188]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The honey-bee that wanders all day long The field, the woodland, and the garden o'er,  To gather in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3897]]></link><description><![CDATA[The honey-bee that wanders all day long The field, the woodland, and the garden o'er,  To gather in his fragrant winter store,   Humming in calm content his winter song,    Seeks not alone the rose's glowing breast,     The lily's dainty cup, the violet's lips,      But from all rank and noxious weeds he sips       The single drop of sweetness closely pressed        Within the poison chalice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The absurdity of it gets played out in the day-to-day lives of Border Patrol agents.

Those who are fascinated by the supposed superiority of the mystic soul might profitably compile a list of its characteristics and place them side by side with those of Christ. The results would probably expose a surprising conclusion.

His Ascension means that He is perfectly united with God; we are with Him wherever we are present to God; and that is everywhere and always. Because He is "in Heaven" He is everywhere on earth: because He is ascended, He is here now. Our devotion is not to hold us by the empty tomb; it must lift up our hearts to heaven so that we too "in heart and mind thither ascend and with Him continually dwell": it must also send us forth into the world to do His will; and these are not two things, but one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through our willingness to help others we can learn to be happy rather than depressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through our willingness to help others we can learn to be happy rather than depressed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Example has more followers than reason.
