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[The passions are the only orators that always persuade: they are, as it were, a natural art, the rules of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45238]]></link><description><![CDATA[The passions are the only orators that always persuade: they are, as it were, a natural art, the rules of which are infallible; and the simplest man with passion is more persuasive than the most eloquent without it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't apologize for it not being pretty, and we don't apologize for keeping it close. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33683]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't apologize for it not being pretty, and we don't apologize for keeping it close.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language tethers us to the world; without it we spin like atoms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24006]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language tethers us to the world; without it we spin like atoms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mozart is sweet sunshine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mozart is sweet sunshine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Moderation is commonly firm, and firmness is commonly successful ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42871]]></link><description><![CDATA[Moderation is commonly firm, and firmness is commonly successful]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Darker than darkest pansies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Darker than darkest pansies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is, as it were, a second self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16828]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is, as it were, a second self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who does not see the angels and devils in the beauty and malice of life will be far removed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1624]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who does not see the angels and devils in the beauty and malice of life will be far removed from knowledge, and his spirit will be empty of affection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not till sex has died out between a man and a woman that they can really love.

And now I mean affection. Now I mean to be fond of (as one is fond of oneself) --to hope, to be disappointed, to live inside the other heart. When I look back on the pain of sex, the love like a wild fox so ready to bite, the antagonism that sits like a twin beside love, and contrast it with affection, so deeply unrepeatable, of two people who have lived a life together (and of whom one must die) it's the affection I find richer. It's that I would have again.
