If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A precious pair of brothers [i.e., rascals]. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48549]]></link><description><![CDATA[A precious pair of brothers [i.e., rascals].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I make money using my brains and lose money listening to my heart.

To put it in a provocative manner: the Bible is theology. It is historical theology. It can reveal its meaning only to those who regard it as the Word of God, and are able to preserve a strict confidence in the universal significance of particular historical occasions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have exceeded forecasts.

In that sense God is not omnipotent: He is limited by His own nature, by His perfect goodness and mercy; for the omnipotence of God means nothing apart from His Fatherly love. In particular, this limitation of the power of God is to be found in the measure of freedom which, as His children, we enjoy. God shares His power with us so that, for a time at least, if we so determine, we can break His laws and frustrate His plans, but also so that we can give to Him, if we choose, the free allegiance of our hearts and minds, and become children at His Family Table, drawn together by the compulsion of His love, and not the exercise of His might.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more fools the more one laughs. [Fr., Plus on est de fous, plus on rit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27407]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more fools the more one laughs. [Fr., Plus on est de fous, plus on rit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who eates his cock alone must saddle his horse alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who eates his cock alone must saddle his horse alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16389]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20516]]></link><description><![CDATA[To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ceremony and ritual spring from our heart of hearts: those who govern us know it well, for they would sooner ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27213]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ceremony and ritual spring from our heart of hearts: those who govern us know it well, for they would sooner deny us bread than dare alter the observance of tradition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18169]]></link><description><![CDATA[To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've grown certain that the root of all fear is that we've been forced to deny who we are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20295]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've grown certain that the root of all fear is that we've been forced to deny who we are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Boston they ask, how much does he know?
