This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To control your cow, give it a bigger pasture. -Suzuki Roshi. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5109]]></link><description><![CDATA[To control your cow, give it a bigger pasture. -Suzuki Roshi.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest things are often the easiest to do because there is so little competition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57489]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest things are often the easiest to do because there is so little competition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944    If we are traveling heavenward, we are already ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8335]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944    If we are traveling heavenward, we are already in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The feeble tremble before opinion, the foolish defy it, the wise judge it, and the skillful direct it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45014]]></link><description><![CDATA[The feeble tremble before opinion, the foolish defy it, the wise judge it, and the skillful direct it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Herostratus lives that burnt the temple of Diana; he is almost lost that built it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Herostratus lives that burnt the temple of Diana; he is almost lost that built it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a crime was committed, and the police are trying to trace the crime gun, they will get all the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29260]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a crime was committed, and the police are trying to trace the crime gun, they will get all the information they need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I only stayed there for one year though, because I got homesick, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39064]]></link><description><![CDATA[I only stayed there for one year though, because I got homesick,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Society prepares the crime, the criminal commits it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Society prepares the crime, the criminal commits it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54805]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called; Which some professing have erred concerning faith.

The Colloquies of Erasmus July 13, 1999  Do right, and God's recompense to you will be the power of doing more right. Give, and God's reward to you will be the spirit of giving more: a blessed spirit, for it is the Spirit of God Himself, whose Life is the blessedness of giving.
