Indeed, materials for a full biography have been withheld from men.

Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But that he wrought so high the specious tale, As manifested plainly 'twas a lie.  [Lat., Se non volea ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26108]]></link><description><![CDATA[But that he wrought so high the specious tale, As manifested plainly 'twas a lie.  [Lat., Se non volea pulir sua scusa tanto,   Che la facesse di menzogna rea.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: I said in my haste, All men are liars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26110]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: I said in my haste, All men are liars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a continuum of values between the churches and the general community.

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not a static thing.
