Sir Isaac Newton July 15, 2000 Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  There is no such thing as a post-Christian society. One generation may reject the Gospel itself, but it cannot reject it for future generations.  ... Luis Palau July 16, 2000 Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  The glory of God is a living man; and the life of man consists in beholding God.  ...

Origen July 18, 2000  Jesus is our mouth, through which we speak to the Father; He is our eye, through which we see the Father; He is our right hand through which we offer ourselves to the Father. Unless He intercedes, there is no intercourse with God.  ...

If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man that sets out to carry a cat by it's tail learns something that will always be useful and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9835]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man that sets out to carry a cat by it's tail learns something that will always be useful and which will never grow dim or doubtful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The oak, when living, monarch of the wood; The English oak, which, dead, commands the flood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44713]]></link><description><![CDATA[The oak, when living, monarch of the wood; The English oak, which, dead, commands the flood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-respect is the root of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-respect is the root of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be rational is so glorious a thing, that two-legged creatures generally content themselves with the title. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53098]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be rational is so glorious a thing, that two-legged creatures generally content themselves with the title.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fatt man knoweth not, what the leane thinketh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49843]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fatt man knoweth not, what the leane thinketh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is painful for me because I would love to sit down and talk to my dad about the way ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40333]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is painful for me because I would love to sit down and talk to my dad about the way he used to be when he was my age, when he was in his prime, because we are so much alike,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some force whole regions, in despite O' geography, to change their site;  Make former times shake hands with latter, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some force whole regions, in despite O' geography, to change their site;  Make former times shake hands with latter,   And that which was before come after;    But those that write in rhyme still make     The one verse for the other's sake;      For one for sense, and one for rhyme,       I think's sufficient at one time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; and adversity is not without comforts and hopes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48474]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; and adversity is not without comforts and hopes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great work is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24715]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great work is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear keepes and looks to the vineyard, and not the owner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear keepes and looks to the vineyard, and not the owner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every reform, however necessary, will by weak minds be carried to an excess which will itself need reforming. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every reform, however necessary, will by weak minds be carried to an excess which will itself need reforming.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it weren't for my lawyer, I'd still be in prison.
