They increase the care of life; but they mitigate the remembrance of death. The perpetuity of generation is common to beasts; but memory, merit, and noble works, are proper to men. And surely a man shall see the noblest works and foundations have proceeded from childless men; which have sought to express the images of their minds, where those of their bodies have failed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true.

Was there really an ordained ministry as early as that? We need not argue about whether, or how, St. Paul was ordained, but he certainly considered that he and his fellow workers had a special pastoral relation to their converts.... St. Paul was primarily a missionary, which in itself establishes a link with the Servant of the Lord. As a missionary, he was not working on his own, but was supported by a group of assistants without whose help he could never have carried on his work. We know the names of many of them... But there were many more whose names we do not know, sometimes referred to as "the brethren" (e.g., in I Cor. 16:11). This missionary group with St. Paul as its leader is the New Testament equivalent of the ordained ministry of today, and it is significant for us that St. Paul describes this group as carrying out in some sense the work of servants in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trial is totally meaningless.

There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life in order to keep ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10348]]></link><description><![CDATA[The paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life in order to keep it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We compliment ourselves on being a pressure team.
