This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a heavy-metal fan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32506]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a heavy-metal fan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890  One secret act of self-denial, one sacrifice of inclination to duty, is worth all the mere good thoughts, warm feelings, passionate prayers, in which idle people indulge themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9349]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your tickets the nearer your approach to this certainty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yellow, mellow, ripened days, Sheltered in a golden coating;  O'er the dreamy, listless haze,   White and dainty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3554]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yellow, mellow, ripened days, Sheltered in a golden coating;  O'er the dreamy, listless haze,   White and dainty cloudlets floating;    Winking at the blushing trees,     And the sombre, furrowed fallow;      Smiling at the airy ease,       Of the southward flying swallow        Sweet and smiling are thy ways,         Beauteous, golden Autumn days.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was many and many a year ago, In a District styled E.C.,  That a monster dwelt whom I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16211]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was many and many a year ago, In a District styled E.C.,  That a monster dwelt whom I cam to know   By the name of Cannibal Flea,    And the brute was possessed with no other thought     Than to live--and to live on me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mine's not an idle cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5357]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mine's not an idle cause.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge is sweeter than life itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge is sweeter than life itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The person who can bring the spirit of laughter into a room is indeed blessed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63793]]></link><description><![CDATA[The person who can bring the spirit of laughter into a room is indeed blessed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the world there are only two tragedies.

This terrible subject would require a book to itself. Here it will be enough to say that the Heavenly Society is also an earthly society. Our (merely natural) patriotism towards the latter can very easily borrow the transcendent claims of the former and use them to justify the most abominable actions. If ever the book which I am not going to write is written, it must be the full confession by Christendom of Christendom's specific contribution to the sum of human cruelty and treachery. Large areas of "the World" will not hear us till we have publicly disowned much of our past. Why should they? We have shouted the name of Christ and enacted the service of Moloch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civility costs nothing and buys everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civility costs nothing and buys everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14336]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When sense runs out, one shall follow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22997]]></link><description><![CDATA[When sense runs out, one shall follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the passions are nothing else than different degrees of heat and cold of the blood. [Fr., Toutes les passions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45606]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the passions are nothing else than different degrees of heat and cold of the blood. [Fr., Toutes les passions ne sout autre chose que les divers degres de la chaleur et de la froideur du sang.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14306]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can find my biography in every fable that I read. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25336]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can find my biography in every fable that I read.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A clear fire, a clean hearth, and the rigour of the game. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5241]]></link><description><![CDATA[A clear fire, a clean hearth, and the rigour of the game.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because of what you have done the heavens have become a part of man's world.
