The whole Bible proclaims the need for, and the achievement of, a salvation that will remake creation, and it is just such a salvation, at once supernatural and historical, that was won on Easter Day. If the Resurrection narratives are [merely] a subtle way of convincing us that God still loves us, or that there is a life beyond death, they must be reckoned among the oddest and most ill-conceived stories ever written.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But woe to him, who left to moan, Reviews the hours of brightness gone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26937]]></link><description><![CDATA[But woe to him, who left to moan, Reviews the hours of brightness gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make yourself indispensable, and you will move up.

To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God. There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't ignore the small things -- the kite flies because of its tail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't ignore the small things -- the kite flies because of its tail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holy Saturday   If I ask to be delivered from trial rather than for deliverance out of it, to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Holy Saturday   If I ask to be delivered from trial rather than for deliverance out of it, to the praise of His glory; if I forget that the way of the Cross leads to the Cross and not to a bank of flowers; if I regulate my life on these lines, or even unconsciously my thinking, so that I am surprised when the way is rough and think it strange, "Think it not strange, Count it all joy," then I know nothing of Calvary love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Central Catholic has earned the respect of all the other teams in this tournament.

So he automatically writes off any Biblical account of a wondrous happening which suggests that there is an order of reality transcending the observable regularities of nature and occasionally breaking in upon them. Nor is rational skepticism content with jettisoning the Bible's miracle stories. It also dismisses other passages on the grounds that they reflect the ignorance and prejudice of a particular age, or the propaganda interests of the Church at a particular stage of its development. Its basic rule of Biblical interpretation is: "When in doubt, throw it out." And the highest scores in the game of radical reductionism are awarded to pedagogues who find the most novel and far-fetched reasons for doubting that any part of the Bible really means what it says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we would not have subdued him when we did, the incident could have been much worse, or even fatal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41688]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we would not have subdued him when we did, the incident could have been much worse, or even fatal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[a phoenix.
