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[Liberty:one of imaginations most precious possessions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24724]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberty:one of imaginations most precious possessions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole word was not sufficient. [Lat., Sufficit huic tumulus, cui non suffecerit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14101]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tomb now suffices him for whom the whole word was not sufficient. [Lat., Sufficit huic tumulus, cui non suffecerit orbis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say that man is mighty, He governs land and sea,  He wields a mighty scepter   O'er ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43217]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say that man is mighty, He governs land and sea,  He wields a mighty scepter   O'er lesser powers that be;    But a mightier power and stronger     Man from his throne has hurled,      For the hand that rocks the cradle       Is the hand that rules the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many persons have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness.

The passage of Scripture which subdued and controlled my mind was this, "The servant of the Lord must not strive." It was painful indeed to see the church, with the exception of the aisles, almost forsaken; but I thought that if God would only give a double blessing to the congregation that did attend, there would on the whole be as much good done as if the congregation were doubled and the blessing limited to only half the amount. This comforted me many, many times, when, without such a reflection, I should have sunk under my burden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A kiss may ruin a human life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23858]]></link><description><![CDATA[A kiss may ruin a human life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great man is he who has not lost the heart of a child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52075]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great man is he who has not lost the heart of a child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's great to know you can beat a team you've never beaten before.
