In them the Ancients personified living realities -- intelligence, beauty, love, or lust, which are still at work in our hearts, and which fashion our persons. The language they speak is that of image and myth, which touches the person much more directly than the explicit language of science and the intellectual dialectic of the modern world. It is also the language of the Bible, of the parables of Christ, which the rationalist of today finds it so difficult to understand, of the Word of God which demands of us not a discussion but a personal decision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes it takes an expert to point out the obvious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes it takes an expert to point out the obvious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If health insurance was working properly, the sicker you are, the more protection you would have.

We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, well, be it so, thou strongest their of all, For thou hast stolen my will, and made it thine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, well, be it so, thou strongest their of all, For thou hast stolen my will, and made it thine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has never hoped can never despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12019]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has never hoped can never despair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time to get a go on this drop-dead-gorgeous morning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time to get a go on this drop-dead-gorgeous morning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Figures won't lie, but liars will figure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Figures won't lie, but liars will figure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Satire must not be a kind of superfluous ill will, but ill will from a higher point of view.
