And man would praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures; yea, man, though he bears about with him his mortality, the proof of his sin, the proof that Thou, O God, dost resist the proud, yet would man praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures. Thou dost prompt us thereto, making it a joy to praise Thee; for Thou hast created us unto Thyself, and our heart finds no rest until it rests in Thee. Grant me, O Lord, to know and understand which comes first, to call upon Thee, or to praise Thee, and which comes first, to know Thee or to call upon Thee.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    August 29, 1998  Instead of pursuing her appointed path of separation, persecution, world-hatred, poverty, and non-resistance, [the Church] has used... Scripture to justify her in lowering her purpose to the civilization of the world, the acquisition of wealth, the use of an imposing ritual, the erection of magnificent churches, the invocation of God's blessing upon the conflicts of armies, and the division of an equal brotherhood into "clergy" and "laity".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each handicap is like a hurdle in a steeplechase, and when you ride up toit, if you throw your heart ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each handicap is like a hurdle in a steeplechase, and when you ride up toit, if you throw your heart over, the horse will go along too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66871]]></link><description><![CDATA[Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last few months, we've given several promotions within the department... and I think that's brought more stability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29277]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last few months, we've given several promotions within the department... and I think that's brought more stability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shyness is just egotism out of its depth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shyness is just egotism out of its depth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hung on the shower that fronts the golden West, The rainbow bursts like magic on mine eyes!  In hues ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hung on the shower that fronts the golden West, The rainbow bursts like magic on mine eyes!  In hues of ancient promise there imprest;   Frail in its date, eternal in its guise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only paradise is paradise lost ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45453]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only paradise is paradise lost]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excellence in any department can be attained only by the labor of a lifetime; it is not to be purchased ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23947]]></link><description><![CDATA[Excellence in any department can be attained only by the labor of a lifetime; it is not to be purchased at a lesser price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing you can lose by dying is half as precious as the readiness to die, which is man's charter of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing you can lose by dying is half as precious as the readiness to die, which is man's charter of nobility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the difference of opinion that makes horse races. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44970]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the difference of opinion that makes horse races.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no talks going on, and CNN is not for sale.
