Its glorification of mere chance is a denial of the Divine order of nature. To risk money haphazard is to disregard the insistence of the Church in every age of living faith that possessions are a trust, and that men must account to God for their use. The persistent appeal to covetousness is fundamentally opposed to the unselfishness which was taught by Jesus Christ and by the New Testament as a whole. The attempt (which is inseparable from gambling) to make a profit out of the inevitable loss and possible suffering of others is the antithesis of that love of one's neighbour on which our Lord insisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love sought is good, but given unsought is better. -Twelfth Night.

In them the Ancients personified living realities -- intelligence, beauty, love, or lust, which are still at work in our hearts, and which fashion our persons. The language they speak is that of image and myth, which touches the person much more directly than the explicit language of science and the intellectual dialectic of the modern world. It is also the language of the Bible, of the parables of Christ, which the rationalist of today finds it so difficult to understand, of the Word of God which demands of us not a discussion but a personal decision.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11854]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have one's individuality completely ignored is like being pushed quite out of life--like being blown out as one blows ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1255]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have one's individuality completely ignored is like being pushed quite out of life--like being blown out as one blows out a light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A single doctor likes a sculler plies, And all his art and all his physic tries;  But two physicians, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26680]]></link><description><![CDATA[A single doctor likes a sculler plies, And all his art and all his physic tries;  But two physicians, like a pair of oars,   Conduct you soonest to the Stygian shores.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a little bit of nerves.
