There is no feeble unconcern and indiscriminateness there, and neither is there any excited hatred of the creed, the doctrine, or the Church, which you feel wholly wrong. You have not fled out of the furnace of bigotry to freeze on the open and desolate plains of indifference. You believe and yet you have no wish to persecute.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was really beautiful for Carlos and I think it was also important for his own moral that he got ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40101]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was really beautiful for Carlos and I think it was also important for his own moral that he got to see himself in a situation where he was just as strong and perhaps even stronger than the other favorites.

We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most meaningful and better life is to have a relationship with GOD ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33431]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most meaningful and better life is to have a relationship with GOD]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good friends are like stars...you don't always see them, but you know they're always there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good friends are like stars...you don't always see them, but you know they're always there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is something I've always wanted.

The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ... John Henry Newman, "What is a University?" August 12, 2000   Any single verse of the Bible, taken in isolation, may actually be dangerous to your spiritual health. Every part of it must be read in relation to the whole message.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There but for the grace of God go I ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18077]]></link><description><![CDATA[There but for the grace of God go I]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the lion has to defend himself against flies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the lion has to defend himself against flies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not improbable that a man may receive more solid satisfaction from pudding while he is alive than from praise ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51002]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not improbable that a man may receive more solid satisfaction from pudding while he is alive than from praise after he is dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better a friendly refusal than an unwilling consent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better a friendly refusal than an unwilling consent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What your glasse telles you, will not be told by Councell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50058]]></link><description><![CDATA[What your glasse telles you, will not be told by Councell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13426]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Act as if what you do makes a difference.
