The time came when the Church had ceased to grow, except externally in wealth, power, and prestige; and these are mere outward adornments, or hampering burdens, very likely. They do not imply growth or creativeness. The time came when dogmatism, tyranny, and ignorance strangled the free intellectual activity of the Church, and worldliness destroyed its moral fruitfulness. Then joy spread her wings and flew away. The Christian graces care nothing for names and labels; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there they abide, but not in great Churches that have forgotten Him. How little of joy there is in the character of the religious bigot or fanatic, or in the prudent ecclesiastical statesman! A show of cheerfulness they may cultivate, as they often do; but it is like the crackling of thorns under a pot: we cannot mistake it for the joy of the Lord which is the strength of the true Christian.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue: he approaches nearest to the Gods, who knows how to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56293]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue: he approaches nearest to the Gods, who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.

Origen seems to have put forward a definition generally agreed upon among ecclesiastical writers when he said that it is a faculty of the reason to distinguish between good and evil, a faculty of the will to choose one or the other. Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace; evil, when grace is absent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the republic of mediocrity, genius is dangerous ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26751]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the republic of mediocrity, genius is dangerous]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I too am not powerless, and my weapons strike hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50731]]></link><description><![CDATA[I too am not powerless, and my weapons strike hard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall; And when Rome falls--the World. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54399]]></link><description><![CDATA[When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall; And when Rome falls--the World.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I still claim that Great Falls is the biggest league community in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38526]]></link><description><![CDATA[I still claim that Great Falls is the biggest league community in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Act boldly and unseen forces will come to your aid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Act boldly and unseen forces will come to your aid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cunning men deal in generalizations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cunning men deal in generalizations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64189]]></link><description><![CDATA[In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even as voters, we try to keep up with the guys as much as possible, mainly through television or ESPN. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even as voters, we try to keep up with the guys as much as possible, mainly through television or ESPN.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Appetite comes with eating," says Angeston, "but thirst departs with drinking." [Fr., "L'appetit vient en mangeant," disoit Angeston, "mais la ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2901]]></link><description><![CDATA["Appetite comes with eating," says Angeston, "but thirst departs with drinking." [Fr., "L'appetit vient en mangeant," disoit Angeston, "mais la soif e'en va en beuvant."]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Labour in vain; or coals to Newcastle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Labour in vain; or coals to Newcastle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We haven't gone out too early with our marketing message, and we timed our message with vehicle availability in our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42154]]></link><description><![CDATA[We haven't gone out too early with our marketing message, and we timed our message with vehicle availability in our showroom.
