I see that morning in Thy convert's tears,  Fresh as the dew, which but this downing wears.  I smell her spices; and her ointment yields  As rich a scent as the now primrosed fields:  The Day-star smiles, and light, with Thee deceased,  Now shines in all the chambers of the East.  ... Henry Vaughan April 24, 2000 Commemoration of Mellitus, First Bishop of London, 624  The [Christian] "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I were as tedious as a king, I could find it in my heart to bestow it all of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55446]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I were as tedious as a king, I could find it in my heart to bestow it all of your worship. -Much Ado about Nothing.

All religions attempt to bridge the gulf between the terrific purity of God and the sinfulness of man, but Christianity believes that God built that bridge Himself. This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is to hope, though hope were lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19759]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is to hope, though hope were lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And there they placed a peacock in his pride, Before the damsel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46005]]></link><description><![CDATA[And there they placed a peacock in his pride, Before the damsel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wonder is the beginning of wisdom ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wonder is the beginning of wisdom]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cradle of the future is the grave of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17115]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cradle of the future is the grave of the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My confidence (defensively) definitely grew as the season went on, and the last month and a half, two months did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35270]]></link><description><![CDATA[My confidence (defensively) definitely grew as the season went on, and the last month and a half, two months did wonders for my confidence.
