When I joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away.  And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.

It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear. But if its light is hid, then wherewith shall the neighborhood be lighted?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're just trying to educate kids on what they can expect if they decide to go into the military.

Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, and hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know all and you will pardon all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know all and you will pardon all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat.

This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest meliorator of the world is selfish, huckstering trade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5028]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest meliorator of the world is selfish, huckstering trade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mom said that the food they give you here tastes like dog food, but I don't think it's that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31595]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mom said that the food they give you here tastes like dog food, but I don't think it's that bad now,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31595</guid></item></channel></rss>
