We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reasons of the poore weigh not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49905]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reasons of the poore weigh not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the winners decide what were war crimes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the winners decide what were war crimes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29467]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One flower makes no garland. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49689]]></link><description><![CDATA[One flower makes no garland.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is not the absense of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is not the absense of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing, like pain or a particular smell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The danger is that a terrorist like Osama bin Laden who is very motivated ... gets a bomb out of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35957]]></link><description><![CDATA[The danger is that a terrorist like Osama bin Laden who is very motivated ... gets a bomb out of a place like Russia.

When this position is expressed, it must be attacked directly and unapologetically, because it represents a genuine evil, ... the idolatry of bricks and mortar, a heresy specifically undermined by the Apostle Paul in Athens when he said, "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man" (Acts 17:24). The notion that it is perfectly all right to sell a New Testament in the department store on Monday, but that it is wrong to sell it in the meetinghouse on Sunday, represents a confusion so great that it is truly appalling. As Christians, we believe in the Real Presence, but it is a severe denial of the divine power to claim that this Presence is limited geographically. If, in a building dedicated to worship, a seeker buys a book on Sunday morning and his life is deepened in consequence, the only important thing to say is that the Gospel has thereby been preached, and this is one of the major tasks of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is it.
