Grant me, O Lord, to design only what is lawful and right, and afford me calmness of mind, and steadiness of purpose, that I may so do Thy will in this short life, as to obtain happiness in the world to come, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Every man lives by his own faith, and God does not distinguish between classes. Since, in cases of necessity, you have the right to act as a priest, then you must also accept priestly discipline. It is God's will that all of us should be in the right spiritual state, at any time or place, to administer His sacraments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We envy those whose possessions or achievements are a reflection on our own.

This fact ought not to be taken to imply, however, that such an effort is unjustifiable and necessarily useless. The distinctiveness of the Biblical approach is its immediacy. The theistic proofs for God's existence constitute a laborious, painstaking, and patient justification of theism. They attempt to set forth in rational argument what the soul grasps intuitively. But for the Bible, the deepest proof of God's existence is just life itself. The knowledge of God and man's knowledge of himself are closely intertwined. If only God could be written off neatly and cleanly, how simple things would be! But the hound of heaven pads after us all. He does not let us go. There is no escaping him...; when least expected, he closes in. The explanation for this is man's creation in the image of God. His identity is known theologically, in relation to the God who as a man in his true significance cannot survive permanently in isolation from his Maker. Without God, man is the chance product of unthinking fate, and so of little worth. The current loss of identity and the emergence of the faceless man in today's culture are testimony to the effects of losing our God. The knowledge of God is given in the same movement in which we know ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In cold blood he leapt into burning Etna. [Lat., Ardentem frigidus Aetnam insiluit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4856]]></link><description><![CDATA[In cold blood he leapt into burning Etna. [Lat., Ardentem frigidus Aetnam insiluit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grandeur . . . consists in form, and not in size: and to the eye of the philosopher, the curve ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grandeur . . . consists in form, and not in size: and to the eye of the philosopher, the curve drawn on a paper two inches long, is just as magnificent, just as symbolic of divine mysteries and melodies, as when embodied in the span of some cathedral roof.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is kindness immediately to refuse what you intend to deny. [Lat., Pars beneficii est, quod petitur, si cito neges.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23765]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is kindness immediately to refuse what you intend to deny. [Lat., Pars beneficii est, quod petitur, si cito neges.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we consider eternity, into that time never entered; eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14199]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we consider eternity, into that time never entered; eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is as a short parenthesis in a long period; and eternity had been the same as it is, though time had never been.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past.
